The Institute’s historical programs manager, Andrew Outten, discusses a 1773 register of British Army officers, annotated with casualties suffered during the first battles of the Revolution—most notably at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
Beginning in 1740, the British Army published annual books listing officers serving within the army’s various regiments, along with their dates of commissions and promotions and other pertinent information. Drawing from the annotations contained within the 1773 British Army List from our library collections, this presentation will explore the Battle of Bunker Hill and the severity of the battle’s impacts on the British participants, along with the book’s significance and various clues that can help identify its once potential owner.
This program accompanies our current exhibition, Revolutionary Beginnings: War and Remembrance in the First Year of America’s Fight for Independence, on view through January 4, 2026.
