Description:
Original caption reads: "A Presidential wreath decorates an American cemetery in North Africa. Near the entrance to the Kasbah Mehdia, ancient Portuguese fortress near Port Lyautey around which fighting raged for three days when the Americans landed in French Morocco in November, is the "U.S.A. Military Cemetery", so designated by an entrance signboard in French, English, and Arabic. Against the flagpole there, President Roosevelt's party placed a wreath during Mr. Roosevelt's tour in North Africa. Close to the flagpole appear white crosses marking the graves of American soldier dead; behind them are French graves."
