The great battle or light skirmist
which took place between our rebellion;
iorefathers and the British soldiers, neal

fight took place on Bunker or Breed's
Hills, they being soj AGENT, but our fight
ing forefathers haa to leave either Oh
both hills so suddenly that it has ever
since remained In doubt where the fight
was fought.
John Phoenix Captain Gsorge q
Derby, OF the United States army de
scribes the battle as follows: "Many
wears ago our respected ancestors
marched up the side Of Breed'e Hill by
a flank to the following spirited tune:
Oh, tweedIe dum twsei
Oh, tweede dunn twee!

And after getting there, feeling sick al
their stomachs from fatigue, threw up 8

took the British very particularly by sur,
prise. Behind these breastworks oul
gallant ancestors stood shoulder Il

minions Of the British moparch with {
destructive and CALLING fire that threw
them into retreat and confusion. Three
