Iraqi girls laugh while playing near U.S. Marines providing security at ceremonies marking the reclamation of a World War I British Army cemetery in Al Kut, south central Iraq, May 8, 2003. Hundreds of British soldiers who died during the campaign for Mesopotamia were buried in the cemetery, but the site fell into disrepair and obscurity under the Saddam Hussein regime, becoming a makeshift trash dump. U.S. Marines have spent several days preparing the site.
