Army Dental Corps collars, pre 1948. The RWF OSD introduced 1903. Churchill says this is the early pattern, later types had a loop in the tail ending in an arrow tip, no date given. The eagle badge looks to be the Essex Regiment.

The Treu und Fest brass badge is for the 11th Hussars, there are Army Pay Corps pair, Worcestershire Regt, Royal Army Service Corps, Royal Army Medical Corps. and Royal Tank Corps.
The third photo Royal Welch Fus. OSD was worn up to the end of the Regiment, so is impossible to date. Also a non facing pair of Argyll and Sutherland and a RASC OSD.

Hi bc,
The "SOYES FERME" badge is both hat badge and left collar of the New Zealand Rifle Brigade.
Cheers, John

In case you haven't id'd it, the uppermost badge on the second pic with the St Andrew's cross & rampant lion is the 4th South African Infantry from WWI.
Cheers,
Alex
