General Thomas Gage of the British decided to station troops on Bunker Hill. The Americans quickly learned of his plans and jumped into action. On the night of June 16, 1775, more than one thousand patriots moved top the nearby Breed Hill. Gage ordered his British men to drive the patriots off. "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes," ordered American General Israel Putnam, in an attempt to conserve precious ammunition. The latter quote has grown quite famous. In the end of the battle, over 1,00 British soldiers lay dead or wounded, as compare to 397 American men. Despite the steep difference in casualties, the British technically won the battle, as the Americans retreated.
