1- Merchant Navy?
4 is a regimental "medal" of some kind to the Lancashire Fusiliers, the back perhaps bearing engraved name of recipient and / or event such as shooting or a sport..
5 is a sweetheart brooch, Royal Fusiliers, the horseshoe being a common feature of many regimental sweethearts.
It symbolises good luck although the shoe being that way up is sometimes held not to be lucky (as the luck falls out).
6 is a collar badge of a Volunteer Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers, what appears to be a coronet is the Victorian Crown.
