Default Stuck…again

I’m stuck again re ID of a couple of badges…the first I know is the East Lancs Reg, but it’s a large badge made of felt and I can’t find any reference to it. The second I thought might be bomb disposal, but again I’m at a loss (which isn’t difficult these days)
Thank you…..

I have a similar unidentified large Sphinx without the rose. A little plain for Band use, possibly for sports clothing but not easy to launder!

The second patch is the US Army Hawaiian Coastal Defense Artillery Patch. The artillery round should be pointing toward the top and the black image of the islands at the bottom, i.e. rotate 180 degrees.

Yes, the Hawaiian Coast Artillery Brigade was active at the time of the Pearl attack.
The other sphinx and rose may be an East Lancashire Regt. Pagri flash, but this is not certain.
