Given he died in almost immediately in the conflict, I seriously doubt he had anything remotely like that uniform. ;-)

You are both most welcome.

I believe the Brits were particularly nasty that day and treated Warren's body so dreadfully is that so many of their officers were killed on Bunker and Breed's Hills. No excuse, mind you, but they never expected the casualties they took that day (but they "won" that battle).
