The British commander was General Thomas Gage. In 1774 he was appointed the military governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay (Massachusetts) under the laws known as the Intolerable Acts. After troops arrived from England and the battle of Bunker Hill was fought (June 17, 1775), Gage received word of his recall as commander on September 26, 1775. He was replaced by General William Howe, but nominally retained his governorship of Massachusetts.
