The battle Of Bunker Hill gave the
occasion for many deeds OF valor. and
since that day We hold a list OF names

courage OF the New Hampshire farm

town of Derryfeld. n. H. left their
homes to fight for the great cause each
knew that no men were ever led by \

OF them In the French and Indian war.

drummer boy son to Cambridge. where

regiment.
