Thomas Gage (1721-1787)English general, son of the 1st Viscount Gage. He served in the Seven Years' War and in Edward Braddock's ill-fated American expedition to fight against the French in 1755. In 1760 he was appointed military governor in Montréal, and in 1763 commander-in-chief of the British forces in America. As governor of Massachusetts he precipitated the revolution by his ill-timed severity, and, after the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775 he was recalled to England. Military Leaders at the BattleMajor-General William Howe commanded the British forces at the battle. General Howe was to lead the major assault against the Colonist's left flank.

Brigadier General Robert Pigot on the British left flank would lead the direct assault on the redoubt.

Major John Pitcairn led the flank or reserve force. Major Pitcairn was killed at the battle and John Trumbull's famous painting depicts his death. Ironically, he was buried at the Old North Church in Boston.
