Photo of Peter Brown’s Revolutionary War pension application, Aug. 29, 1832, at the National Archives Museum in Washington, D.C., May 12, 2025. The British took swift action to dislodge Americans from their fortified entrenchment on June 17. British naval vessels launched an immediate artillery barrage, and British regulars attacked that afternoon. American rebel Peter Brown recounted his experience of the "desperate battle" in his 1832 pension application testimony. He recalled that "we drove back the enemy twice but we were obliged to retreat" after running low on ammunition. British regulars secured Breed's Hill only after two failed assaults under heavy American musket fire. (U.S. Army photo by Bernardo Fuller)
