Looking through by books on the Indian Divisions I can only ID a few of the cap badges. Is there a good on-line reference to their cap badges ?

A good find - better than anything I've seen. It was a brave (pun intended) move putting an article on Indians in the 1st US Cavalry Association magazine, though.
A Madrassi of the Signals, Now was that The Royal Indian Signals, the Royal Signals or just Indian Signals, what was their proper title ?
This is Lt-Col DRER Bateman DSO OBE who was GSO 1 of 4th Indian Div from March '41 to April '42. What cap badge is he wearing?
This is Brig JC Saunders-Jacobs CBE DSO, commander 5th Ind Bde from April '44 to Feb '46. I assume this is cap badge of Royal Garwahli Rifles ?
I can't work this one out at all. Chap is being presented to King George VI in Arezzo , Italy in July 1944.
Indian Signal Corps. I think Cheers , looking on London Gazette website for some of these officers & that's how it appears on there.
Maybe 10th Baluch Regiment. Cheers, confirmed it was Baluch Regt on here. Gazette Website: PDF Navigator The National Archives | DocumentsOnline | Image Details Regiment: Indian Army 1 Baluchis Regiment
This is Lt-Col DRER Bateman DSO OBE who was GSO 1 of 4th Indian Div from March '41 to April '42. What cap badge is he wearing? Picture of John Randle from front cover of his book. He was officer in 10th Baluch Regiment and he have a same badge. Edit: Sorry Owen I didn't see that you already find answer.
cheers for confirming that sol. This one shows the Central India Horse capbadge off well. but I can't work out these two. A Madrassi in what regiment/corps? Is it Queen Victoria's Own Madras Sapper & Miners? What regiment/corps does this Pathan belong to?
Cheers Enes, I edited in what I was thinking it was as you answered. QVO Madras Sappers & Miners. I had a look at some other pics in 4th Ind Div history.
