The Battle of Bunker Hill was a defining moment in the early days of the American Revolution, demonstrating the determination and resilience of colonial forces against the might of the British Army. Though technically a British victory, the fierce resistance of the American militias proved that the fight for independence would be long and hard-fought. On this 250th anniversary, we remember the bravery of those who stood their ground and helped shape the destiny of a new nation.
