<i>Tender moment ... US Marines
pray over fallen buddy



GRIEF-stricken US Marines huddle together in prayer over the body of a dead pal yesterday.
For a few precious moments of mourning the tough troopers turned from the fury of battle at Fallujah to bid him farewell.

The Marines had fought hard to keep their buddy alive. They had bound his head wound after he was hit by shrapnel, then defied enemy fire to carry him to a first-aid post. But nothing could save him.






The casualty was among more than 40 Americans killed so far this week. At least 480 Iraqi rebels died in the same period.

The bodies of some Americans have yet to be recovered. An official said: “We dare not reach them because of the fighting.”
