Exclamation I believe this is Scottish? Have no idea about the other?

My father died last year and I was fortunate to get the military badges he had collected when he was young and we are talking WW2 era and some are WW1. There are a few I have yet to know what they are. I am hoping you might help as I have done a lot of research and with sadly no success.





Thank you

The Scottish one is a bit further away.

Its the Royal Jersey Light Infantry.

Hello, the first badge is one for the Royal Jersey Light Infantry (Militia of the Island)
The Royal Jersey Light Infantry became the 11th Battalion of The Hampshire Regiment in 1940.

The second one looks to be a collar badge of the Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars.

Thank you. I assumed as all the badges had the same cross on them, that they were Scottish. I almost finished the lot; just 3 to go.
