38 (Irish) Brigade advance north of Rome, Italy.

By 1500 hours on 14 June, the 6th Battalion The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers had formed a bridgehead across the River Paglia, a tributary of the Tiber north of Rome. In response to German countermoves, the bridgehead was extended by moving the 2nd Battalion The London Irish Rifles further to the north to occupy the Morrano Ridge dominating Route 71.

The London Irish attack at 1500 hours was led by E and F Company. The move forward and attack against this German rearguard position was undertaken with such speed by the London Irish that the German defences, still not fully organised, were overcome with the attacking companies firm on their objectives by 1625 hours.

As the London Irish completed the occupation of the ridge, the supporting Forward Observation Officers were able to bring effective artillery fire to bear on the German transport moving on the highway below. Fighting and Standing Patrols later that evening encountered Germans moving forward, such was the 'fog of war', to join the already vanquished German defenders of the Morrano Ridge.

The advance from Rome to Lake Trasimeno continued.
