Breeds Hill and Bunker Hill are adjoining hills located in Boston. During the Revolutionary war, a battle that was fought on Breeds Hill was mistakenly identified as the Battle of Bunker Hill.
A "primary source" is a description of the event written by the people who experienced it. A "secondary source" is a description written by people who read the books that the primary-source people wrote. So, a "primary source" for the Battle of Bunker Hill would be written by the soldiers who fought the battle or who observed it first-hand. Each person saw only a PART of the battle; the part he was involved in. Even for such a small battle as Bunker Hill, no one person saw it all; some things were happening on the other side of the hill. A "primary source" can also be written by asking questions of people who were there. The "Secondary sources" read the books that the eye-witness observers and participants wrote, sometimes decades later.
the battle went brutally, lots of people died,each side left with less people
There were just too many Brits. After three tries, the British took over. Each side lost almost half of their men.
The food a soldier was given, or issued, each day by the Army was called a ration. The ration for a soldier a day was, a pound of bread a pound of meat a gill of dry beans or peas a gill of rum A soldier was very lucky indeed if he received ½ of that!
