Talk:Organisation for the Maintenance of Supplies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The OMS (organization for the maintenance of supplies) was a mix of toffs and blacklegs. There is a section of Brideshead Revisited where Charles Ryder comes home from France and his artistic pursuits to "help with essential supplies". He joins 'Boy' Mulcaster on milk delivery. They race to Commercial Road when they hear of a prospective punch-up. My own father drove a bus in Edinburgh, transporting nurses and other 'essential' workers. He said that buses would often return without a single window intact.
