Which American Revolutionary War colonel reportedly said, "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes"?

• William Prescott:William Prescott was an American colonel in the Revolutionary War who commanded the patriot forces in the Battle of Bunker Hill. Prescott is known for his order to his soldier, "Do not fire until you see the whites of their eyes", such that the rebel troops may shoot at the enemy at shorter ranges, and therefore more accurately, and so conserve their limited stocks of ammunition. The Americans fought for as long as they could before they were forced to retreat and surrender Bunker Hill to the British. However, the battle gave notice to the British that the Americans would bravely fight for liberty.
