The hill should be empty! The battle was actually on Breed's Hill

Yes, it is true, you are right ... But if I am not mistaken is remembered as the "Battle of Bunker Hill".

See, we couldn't even get our battles right. Rather than changing the name of the battle to the correct hill somebody probably said "who will ever know?" Nice diorama.

Very nice! Excellent use of the Perry figures, showing their sculpting to the best advantage in a scene such as this. Well painted and composed - thanks for sharing it with us!

it was always cited on our (The Royal Marines) list of battle honours as "Bunker Hill" but geaugan, is correct, it was at breed hill.

But then, history is full of battle named after the nearest big town, or landmark, for example the battle of Waterloo, was actually a few miles from Waterloo and centered around a farm La Haye Sainte and the cross-road at Quatre Bras.
