BUNKER HILL FLAG

A flag that arose in the colonies as they sought to separate themselves from the British Empire, the Bunker Hill Flag was a distinct new banner raised and flown at the Battle of Bunker Hill.  It still contained St. George’s cross in the canton, but the color of the field was changed to blue.  It was also one of the first American flags to include the Pine Tree, which would become a lasting symbol of New England and the Colonies.
