Warren had been commissioned a [[major general]] in the colony's militia shortly before the June 17, 1775 [[Battle of Bunker Hill]]. Rather than exercise his rank, Warren chose to participate in the battle as a [[private (military)|private]] soldier, and was killed in combat when British troops stormed the [[redoubt]] atop Breed's Hill. His death, immortalized in [[John Trumbull]]'s painting, ''[[The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker's Hill, June 17, 1775]]'', galvanized the rebel forces. Warren has been memorialized in the naming of many towns, counties, streets, and other locations in the United States, by statues, and in numerous other ways.
