I used to live up the street from this monument in the center of Arlington, MA. The 10th Regiment of Foot took more wounded getting home from Lexington and Concord than they did in the battles. The basic load for the Brits was 20 or 30 rounds - the bayonet was considered the primary weapon! At the time, Arlington was called Menotomy and one British soldier wrote afterwards "We were much vexed as we passed through Anatomy" (Let the puns begin)
