Default Indian Army Shoulder Titles?

Hi Gents,
I know some of these are Indian but am struggling to identify them.
Your help would be appreciated.
Many Thanks in advance.
Colin

I suspect you have considered the various States Forces by now.

The top left badge is almost certainly 'His Highness A...' - fairly obvious but not much help.

Kashmir had a number of units including artillery and infantry, so it's just possible that the 'K.M.S.' is the 'Kashmir [Medical?] Service'. Kapurthala was also a significant [Sikh ruled] state but I can't find anything about their army.

Still working on the other two.

Peter

PWD is Public Works Dept
H.H is His Highness something - could be any of the princely states...will have to rack my brain a bit..
KMS again..hard to say..not necessarily medical service. Kapurthala, Kashmir and the bigger states had sizeable armies but not sure if any had a full-fledged medical services unit
