Happy Birthday, John Trumbull

If you believe Wikipedia, which experience has taught me is a dodgy proposition, today is the birthday of Revolutionary War painter John Trumbull in 1756. Well, I'm willing to go with this factoid, as it gives me an excuse for posting one of Trumbull's more famous paintings depicting the Death of Gen. Warren at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
One thing I've never been able to figure out about this painting - how did Boy George get into the battle? (Check the lower right.)
Just asking.

Ah Ha! Proof that Boy George is an Immortal! I knew it.
There can be only one.
