unknown WW1 cap & collar badges - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

I would be most grateful if anyone can shed light on the regiments of the gents in the attached photos...

I am particularly interested in the first two. Presumably the third is KRRC or a Light Infantry regiment (unfortunately no collar badges as further clue).

Any help appreciated!

Middle image is Royal Berkshire Regiment.

Does the 3rd image show collar badges or buttons on the lapels?

No collar badges on third gent. Buttons look like could be Rifles buttons.

The closest I can get with the 1st image is possibly the Royal arms, but it doesn't quite seem right for that. It may be.....
A Lancere Regiments badge?

I also wondered if British Indian Army cavalry might be a possibility?

Thanks Leigh for the swift reply!

Yes, Royal Berkshire Regiment looks to be spot on. Did have this as possible, but was not quite sure.

Any ideas on the first one?
