Organisation to Halt Military Service pamphlet

This 1972 pamphlet produced by the Organisation to Halt Military Service (OHMS) calls for support for the organisation's founder, Geoff Woolford. He was briefly jailed for refusing to attend military training camps. Compulsory military service was ended the following year. The acronym OHMS has an extra, and equally appropriate, meaning since the ohm is an electrical unit of resistance.
