The soldiers of the 1st New Hampshire Regiment had orders not to shoot “until you see the white of their eyes,” but Private Simpson disobeyed on June 17, 1775, firing before the British soldiers closed in on their position. Later, Simpson was court-martialed.

Capt K. Freeman, NH Militia: "Remember, patriots, firest thou not until I see the whites of their eyes and giveth the command, so keepest thy booger hook off the …."

BANG!

Freeman: "Simpson, t'was thou?! How many times must I tell thee Rule Three! Jumping George Washington on a pogo stick, this is why we cannot haveth nice things!"

Yeah, but I think churchmouse vouched for the provenance of the weapon. As an eye-witness.
