This coming Monday (25 April 94) Australia and New Zealand commemorate
their war dead on Anzac Day (Australian & New Zealand Army Corps,
which were among the first soldiers ashore in the battle at Gallipoli
in 1915 during World War I - a 9-month campaign with grievous
losses). This day has become our most important national day of
remembrance.
Scottish oatmeal biscuits were cooked at home during WWI and sent
to the soldiers fighting overseas. After the war, these oat-based
biscuits were named Anzac Biscuits when they were made and sold as
fund-raisers for returned soldiers.
