Furthermore the well known children's song 'The Grand Old Duke of York' is actually based on the battle of bunker hill.
The Royal Marines were officially known as the Duke of York and Albany's Maritime Regiment of Foot. Because they repeatedly marched up and down that hill this song was made to commemorate it.
The funny thing is that whilst the colonists may have taken heart from this battle, the British saw it as not only a victory under adverse conditions but the first of many to come.
Here's some things you may not know about the Battle of Bunker Hill.
A substantial portion of the British force sent up and down that hill were Royal Marines, colonists fighting there came to fear the Royal Marines discipline and fearlessness in the face of heavy fire. They came to respect the Royal Marines, which in turn led to the creation of the US Marine Corps.
The 'rebel'/ colonist forces wanted their own version to match the tenacity and fighting spirit of the Royal Marines.
Just felt you may enjoy some of the trivia :)
