After the Regulars&#8217; withdrawal from the North Bridge where they had engaged with more than 400 Minutemen, they began a retreat back to Boston. By the time the Regulars arrived at this spot at half past noon, there were reported to be about 1,100 Minutemen in the area from more than a dozen towns. A challenge by the Regulars started a classic guerilla action, which continued for many hours as the outnumbered British retreated towards Boston. At least two British privates were killed and several others wounded here during that initial exchange. By the time the day was over, 49 Colonials and 73 British troops were killed, plus 173 wounded and missing.<\/p>\n<p>The actions commerated here at the Meriams Corner Exercise began a war that would not end until Yorktown, more than 6 long years later. Minute companies, fife and drum, and the Concord Independent Battery commemorate the fight at Meriam\u2019s Corner. In addition to a parade, there will be musket and cannon firing and fife and drum music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Participating Units<\/strong><br \/>Groups such as the <a class=\"blue\" target=\"_New\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Middlesex County Volunteers Fifes and Drums<\/a> take part in the parade and other Meriams Corner Exercise activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Patriots&#8217; Day Activities<\/strong><br \/>Each year thousands of people flock to historic Lexington and Concord and Minute Man National Historical Park to celebrate Patriots&#8217; Day.
