Lest We Forget
25th April is always remembered as ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand. It commemorates all the amazing Australian and New Zealand service men who fought and died, early in the morning, at the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey, 25 April 1915 during the First World War.
Whilst, the dated was picked for remembering this event, we also now remember and recognise all the Service Men and Women who have and currently take care of our country. Poppies are the recognised flower to celebrate ANZAC Day since 1920. This was due to the colour and the blood spilled. Poppies were also picked as they were the first flowers to bloom over the graves of soldiers in northern France and Belgium.
ANZAC Cookies were one of the food items that could survive the journey to the soldiers from their home country and still be edible. These were originally known as Soldier’s Biscuits but after the Gallipoli landings they became known as ANZAC Biscuits.
