Note:  During World War I, the wives, mothers and girlfriends of the Australian soldiers were concerned about food being supplied to their men, so they made these biscuits which are still popular today. They are especially served on ANZAC Day, which is commemorated on April 25 to honor members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I.
