Canadian troops entered Frosinone with light German resistance as rearguards withdrew after delaying actions. French troops closed in from the west while Canadian and British armor advanced from Ceprano, about ten miles southwest, toward Rome. Snipers, mines, and road demolitions challenged the push, with Luftwaffe absent as Allied fighter-bombers targeted escape routes.
