ANZAC(Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) were originally called Soldiers Biscuits. The biscuits were made by wives and sent to the soldiers fighting in World War I.They kept well during Naval Transportation and were given as part of their rations.They are part of our Australian History and signify the womens input into the War from the home front. They are still eaten by all Australians now. They should be a bit chewy!
