Lt. James Monroe was but 19 years old when he was sent by Gen. Washington (along with Washington's cousin, William) to charge a Hessian artillery group at the battle of Trenton. William sustained serious wounds to his hands and Monroe took a ball in the shoulder and would have bled to death had it not been for a physician who clamped the severed artery.
