"Don't fire 'til you see the whites of their eyes!"
Statue of Colonel William Prescott at the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown, Boston, USA.

Photo taken in 2008 with a Minolta X-700 and Minolta MD Rokkor-X 45mm F2 lens using Kodak Ultramax 400 color print film.
Here is an interesting blog article on the debate about the origin of this famous quote...
