This battle, though victorious, proved costly for the British. Of the 2400 British soldiers in Howe's command, the 1054 casualties accounted for nearly forty percent of their ranks. The American casualties were 441, including 30 captured, with most being inflicted during the retreat. The battle served to proved to the American people that the British Army was not invinsible. It became a symbol of national pride and a rally point of resistance against British rule.

Yes, and the British were very relunctant to attack a fixed American position again.

Espically since many of the dead at 'Bunker'(Breeds Hill) were British officers!
