It was here that British colonists risked their lives and property, defending their ideals of liberty and self-determination. The events of that day have been popularized by succeeding generations as the "shot heard round the world." Often referred to as the "Battles of Lexington, and Concord," the fighting on April 19, 1775 raged over 16 miles along the Bay Road from Boston to Concord, and included some 1,700 British regulars and over 4,000 Colonial militia. British Casualties totaled 273; 73 Killed, 174 wounded, 26 missing. Colonial casualties totaled 95; 49 killed, 41 wounded, and 5 missing." National Park Service

George Henry Preble, author of History of the Flag of the United States, 1880...Sometime after the Battle of Bunker Hill, Americans began to recall stories about four flags relating to the battle. The Provincial militia likely flew two of these flags during the battle. The other two flags appeared during the Siege of Boston, the larger conflict that began with the Battle of Bunker Hill. In-person accounts about these flags are contradictory, but there is agreement among some historians that Provincials flew these four flags either during the battle or in the days that followed.
