It is highly recommended to all who care to learn from experience but listening to the voice of one who was at the sharp end and has reflected throughout his military career on what his experiences meant, then and now, personally and professionally. He is generous in his praise of other units, where praise is due, but never shirks from criticism where it is needed.

A cerebral Scot who retired as a brigadier, the author is as brilliant at explaining the strategic complexities of the campaign as he is at allowing the reader to experience what it really felt like to be invloved in an unending battle with the elements and against an enemy whose will needed to be broken if the war was to be won. But the yomp and the fight at the end of it was a hellish experience, and Gardiner’s vivid, honest descriptions do justice at last to those who suffered it. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher regarded the British armed forces as being akin to a mission from God, and most of her press and public agreed. After a series of back-breaking bear hugs and bootneck banter, each man proudly puts on his green beret. That someone is Giles Walker, Yomper 4×4 CEO, who has this to say about the product: ‘We’ve always worked in an environment where we apply advanced engineering principles to meet the specific demands of a job, so when I heard from a lot of people in my local community – many of whom are farmers – about the lack of a suitable small utility SUV on the market I decided it would be a great opportunity to create one.

The Args (“Argies” seems to have been a British tabloid confection, and the fighting men had a healthy contempt for the saloon bar warriors who wrote headlines for the Sun) were entrenched.

It is of course based on the third-generation Suzuki Jimny, but its makers say it’s more than just a pickup conversion.It's an extraordinary journey, which Gardiner describes so brilliantly you feel as if you are part of the exhausting experience, sharing the pain and discomfort.

They went on to fight the crucial night battle for Two Sisters, the twin 1,000 foot high peaks which were keys to the defensive positions around Stanley. By May 21 Colin was in a landing craft motoring in the pitch dark towards Blue Beach with his comrades from 40 Commando. First, the distance between Stanley and San Carlos was some 56 miles and given the problems posed by the terrain it would take at least eight days to cover the ground.Gritty and moving, and at moments wryly amusing, The Yompers provides penetrating, original first-hand insights into wider aspects of the Falklands War as well as conflict in general. Today's crossword puzzle clue is a general knowledge one: Type of bag used by hikers, students, endurance athletes, yompers, countryside picnickers etc. Due to various events during this month, it has meant a walk that we should have been doing has not been tested out to determine if the route is still viable (HS2?

I suspect that even the most well educated reader will be scurrying for the dictionary at some stage. The quality of the conversion here is top-notch, with the join between Suzuki’s work and Yomper’s barely perceptible.Both Yomper and Bergan are now etched into history books and are recognised words in the Oxford dictonary because of this mission. If your needs are less demanding you can do without the stretched chassis and convert on a standard-length Jimny, or simply have the chassis cab unit if you want to add your own.
