Ashok Nath, in 'Sepoys and Sowars', lists the Garhwali badge as a 'headdress badge'. The 39th G Rifles wore broad brimmed hats, like those worn by the Gurkhas, rather than turbans.
BTW, which unit is the 'Cavalry' badge with the crossed lances? Indian Army as well? Peter

The Royal Dublin Fusiliers OR's shoulder title, worn in India c1897. WESTLAKE 1431. The harp badge with slider is said to be WWII Ulster Home Guard cap badge. The other is a collar badge, probably Canadian.
