Anzac Day is celebrated in Australia and New Zealand on the 25th of April every year, to remember those who fought for their country. Anzac Day is also celebrated in the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tonga. Reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzac_Day
When soldiers fought in the war, they were given small portions of food. They only got what was available. Soldiers would call their lunch a Ration Pack. It would contain bully beef [a type of canned meat],some dried fruit,a slice of cheese,1 olive,a potatoe,a piece of bread,a drink of water [if they were lucky they would get tea],some bacon and an Anzac biscuit. Thats how the Anzac biscuit became popular. Reference http://www.skwirk.com.au
The acronym ANZAC stands for Australian New Zealand Army Corps. RNZA stands for Royal New Zealand Army. RNZAF stands for Royal New Zealand Airforce and RSA stands for Returned Servicemen Association. Reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzac_Day
At the end of the war over 8,000 Australian and 2,700 New Zealand soldiers died. Reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzac_Day
