Allied Military Government of Rome Under the Fifth Army, 5-15 June 1944: Report to the Army Commander (Classic Reprint), Hume Edgar Erskine

The victorious Fifth Army, after it took Rome, pushed the enemy back so quickly that within a few days Rome was left far in the rear of the combat zone. This was somewhat unexpected, and had an important bearing on the Allied Military Government of Rome. Allied Control Commission, which desired to assume charge of Rome government as soon as possible, was able to take over those functions on 15 June 1944, since on that day, the Fifth Army rear boundary was moved northward so as to clear the Eternal City. The group set up for Rome government by General Hume was left in that city and passed over to the Allied Control Commission. Lts head relinquished his position and moved forward with the other officers of Fifth Army Headquarters.
