Default Set of Welsh badges?

I wonder if members could cast some light on the origin and/or authenticity of some of these badges?

Phil,

First one with shovel etc is Indian.

2nd is a West Yorks/Leinster collar.

3rd looks fake to me

4th is not military

5th is a Cavalry NCO's arm badge but footed loops make it suspect.

regards

regards

The Indian badge is collar badge for the 61st or 1st KGO Sappers and Miners.

Manchester's has answered that question in post 3. There is only 1 'Welsh' badge amongst those pictured.

The Welsh Regiment cap badge is very clearly a poor copy of a common badge.
