Thanks for the post. I had never read of the particular circumstances of Joseph Warren’s death.

There are a lot of versions, obviously it was a frantic scene. I think one of the most interesting is attached to Paul Revere, silversmith. Warren was wearing an expensive blue coat; supposedly , the British burial detail “stuffed him in a hole,” an unmarked grave. Supposedly according to the account, Revere rowed over to the still British-occupied peninsula some weeks or months later, found the grave and identified the body by the fact that he had fashioned a dental bridge for Warren.
