A Soldier’s Guide to Rome

In peacetime, few people travelled abroad. This would be many soldiers’ first and only visit to Rome.

The Allies arrived, mindful of their status as liberators. The troops were encouraged to recognise this and to appreciate Rome, its history and culture.

A Soldier’s Guide to Rome was produced by the US Morale Services Section, HQ SOS, Natousa.

Here, it is referred to as the “US Guide”.

Soldier’s Guide to Rome was produced by the Allied Control Commission with a foreword by General Alexander.

Here, it is called the “UK Guide”.
