Military Snapshot - Cemetery Wall Firing Line


During the Battle of Najaf in August 2004, U.S. Marines use the wall around the Wadi Al-Salam Cemetery as convenient protection and a useful firing line position. The Marine in the foreground is firing an M-60 machine gun. Photo courtesy of Maj. Michael S. Wilbur, USMC, from Battle for the City of the Dead by Dick Camp.
