Battle of Bunker (sic, really Breed's) Hill this date. Lost Pickering and Dr. Warren, among others.
Excelsior,

Another anniversary indeed...
Dr Warren was lost that day, but not Timothy Pickering. He lived until 1829 after serving a Quartermaster, Sec of War, Sec of State and recommending the founding of the US Military Academy at West Point.
The British Major Pitcairn was killed with a head shot by Peter Salem, a black American patriot (some sources report a chest shot).
