Of BUNKER HILL

One hundred and thirty-fve years
ago today the famous battle of Bunker
Hill was fought between the English
and American troops, the battle be-
ing one of the most important in the
revolutionary war. Bunker Hill where
the battle was fought is one of the
historical sights of Boston, and the
regular custom of putting flowers at
the base of the monument is be-
ing done today. This battle although
not one of the biggest during the war
from 1775-17S3, was one of the most
decisive.
Although today represents a ME.
morable day in United Stateshistory
none of the local flags are masted in
honor of the celebration.
In New York and other cities
of the mainland when day
famous for history comes around, the
local order of either the Sons or
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton make some special arrangements
for the day, but for some reason the
local branches of both orders have
forgotten the anniversary of Bunker
Hill.
