The British are coming! Had this battle occurred before the American Declaration of Independence, on July 4, 1776, the shout would have been, instead, "The Regulars are coming!", as the American colonists would have still considered themselves British subjects. |

A British victory in this battle! |

This photo and the next one from a reenactment, around 1965, which took place on Miller Hill, where an engagement occurred between British and American forces on November 1, 1776, four days after the battle, and which resulted in a British retreat. Some of the American redoubts on the hill have been restored. |
A photo from the 1965 reenactment. That's me holding the pine tree flag! A flag of similar design was flown by American troops, during the Battle of Bunker Hill, on June 17, 1775. |
The Continental pine tree flag, which is shown in the photo above, was based on the design of a New England flag that had the cross of Saint George in the white field. |
A battle flag, with a Liberty Pole over a sword on a red field and "Liberty or Death" written above them, that was flown by American troops at the Battle of White Plains. |
