Off-road performance clearly can’t match the original shorter-chassis vehicle, but he says the difference is marginal.

Yorkshire firm Yomper goes a stage or two further, stripping the vehicle down to its bare bones before giving it a custom rebuild.

After disembarking from ships at San Carlos on East Falkland, on 21 May 1982, Royal Marines and members of the Parachute Regiment yomped (and tabbed) with their equipment across the islands, covering 56 miles (90km) [2] in three days carrying 80-pound (36kg) [3] loads. They were supposed to be transported by helicopters, but after the Atlantic Conveyor, which carried the helicopters, was sunk by Argentinian Exocet missiles on 25 May, the soldiers had to march across the island.

From very humble beginnings, we have grown to become what we are today. We have read Ian Gardiner before with his other two excellent books and this one keeps to his high standard of excellent writing of his experiences, now as X-Ray Company Commander in 45 Commando, as well as his wisdom and practical philosophical oversight. In Yompers the author covers logistics through tactics, politics through training as well as humour (we will use the Queen’s English spelling out of respect) and cigarettes.Ian, whose book book The Yompers was published in February, will describe the little known but highly successful action.

Everyone was really encouraging all the way round and that helped a lot too.” The Yomper 225Y Rustler is similar to the Bergen but without the extended load bed and with the lift kit only optional.

Possible answer:

A British company commander details his experience serving in the Falklands War and reflects on the 1982 conflict. This is a first hand story of that epic feat, but it is much more than that. The first to be written by a company commander in the Falklands War, the book gives a compelling, vivid description of the ‘yomp’ and infantry fighting, and it also offers penetrating insights into the realities of war at higher levels. It is a unique combination of descriptive writing about front-line fighting and wider reflections on the Falklands War, and conflict in general.
