The Battle of Bunker Hill resulted in significant casualties for the British, with over 1,000 soldiers killed or wounded. The colonial militia did put up a fierce resistance, but ultimately were forced to retreat due to lack of ammunition. George Washington was not involved in the battle, as it took place over a year before he was appointed commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. The battle did not prove that the Americans could easily beat the British, as the British ultimately won the battle, though at a high cost. There is no evidence that Americans refused to take prisoners during the battle.
