Default Identification Please (Flashes / Backings)
Does anyone know what these flashes or backings are?

Thanks

The right handside flash is for the Duke of Cornwall Light Infantry.

The left hand ribbon is not a unit flash or a badge backing. It is the 2nd pattern ribbon for the The Order of British India, as worn as a service ribbon. See attached page.

The regimental flash is seen worn painted on helmet :


Or as your cloth flash on sun helmet :



Sorry for the poor quality pictures from the DCLI regimental museum.
