Bunker Hill Flags

On the heels of the Battles of Lexington and Concord that began the Revolutionary War, American troops learned that the British planned on sending troops from Boston to occupy the hills around the city. One thousand colonial militiamen under the command of Colonel William Prescott built fortifications overlooking Boston. The British attacked the Americans twice and both times were forced to retreat. Only the third time when approaching were the Americans forced to retreat, but not without dealing a shattering blow to the British.

It was at this battle that the Americans were finally convinced that patriotic dedication could overcome the British army, despite their superior numbers. The high price the British paid made them realize that the war with the colonies would be far more difficult and costly than they thought.

The pine tree pictured on the Bunker Hill flag was a symbol of freedom to New Englanders at the time. British flags, particularly the English Blue Ensign used by several British organizations or territories was modified to show the pine tree within the St. George's cross.

It is with immense pride we present this venerable flag showcased in one of the more important defining moments of our great country. With over 35 years, we have worked diligently as well as passionately to reproduce both the most authentic antique flags and the premier American flags not found anywhere else.

The Bunker Hill flag comes with our well-constructed, fetching brass grommets along the left side. These grommets make displaying as well as hanging your new flag easy. We chose nylon for these Bunker Hill flags as it is one of the best materials for weathering sunshine or storms. Nylon is also extremely light while being tough, making this flag wave beautifully in slight breezes.

For a more portable piece of American history, our 4" x 6" flags come with a sturdy 10" pole topped with a golden spear top.

Relive the pride, the resilience, and remember your history with the most well-made Bunker Hill flag on the market to date.
