For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I believe the verb 'yomp' was accepted military slang before the Falklands but came to the notice of the rest of us with some famous pictures used in the papers at the time of the conflict. I often find Google Images comes up with better information so I entered 'yomping, Falklands' :O)

sarumite ... I found the reference to a Moses Boat in my OED .
Under Moses.....a type of boat used in Massachusetts !706 -!775.
As for Apres Coup ..being bilingual helped there as i just cross referenced with the same thing in German and learnt an awful lot about psychoanalysis which was most uninteresting ! .
Thanks for the info Dusty !!

Surprisingly (perhaps) moses boat is not in Chambers, but I have found a web site where it is mentioned.
