Iraqis who arrived early at a job fair held by the British Army's 1st Battalion, 1st Light Infantry Brigade at the stadium in Al Amarah, Iraq, express happiness at being toward the front of the growing line. More than 11,000 Iraqis began arriving at 7:30 a.m. on Jan. 26, 2004, to register for 2,500 manual labor jobs. The British soldiers pulled riot patrol to keep the Iraqis from trampling one another during the long wait in line. Royal Air Force photo by Cpl. Gary Wort
