OFFICERS PLAY MOURNFUL TUNE AT MENIM GATE IN YPRES.
Officers play a mournful tune at "The Last Post" at the Menim Gate in
this undated photo in Ypres, Belgium, where a British Memorial for the
Missing includes the names of nearly 55,000 soldiers whose bodies where
never recovered from nearby fighting from 1914 to 1917. As America
wages what President George W. Bush calls the first war of the 21st
century, educators, writers, former servicemen and amateur historians
are trying to learn more about the first global war of the 20th
century. FOR USE WITH FEATURE LEISURE-WORLDWARI REUTERS/Phil Barbara
