Here is the picture and the caption that appears on that web site. My disclaimer: I don't know anything about these people, so if anyone out there wants to cooperate they should look into it themselves.

US marines pose for a group portrait after brokering a peace agreement with Shi'ite militants in Najaf, Iraq. An image that shows hundreds of American soldiers posing in the bombed out shell of a holy Muslim city might speak to some of colonial occupation, but Lucian Read, the photographer, sees the picture as one of pride and solidarity: "I'm incredibly fond of it. It shows their need to be recognised. It says: 'This is us; this is all of us; and we did this together'." The image is part of Lucian Read's exhibition, Devil Dogs: No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy, which is currently touring America.
