IIRC, an English unit also used the death's head insignia.

They still do - the Queen's Royal Lancers have used it since 1993, having inherited it from the 17th/21st Lancers who, in 1922, inherited it from The 17th Lancers (Duke of Cambridge's Own), who were raised in 1759.

They are sometimes known as the "Death or Glory Boys".
