Anzac Biscuits were names from Soldiers Biscuits in memory of the Gallipoli campaign, where soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (A.N.Z.A.C) stood proudly as troops of independent nations within the British Empire. During World War 1 the wives, mothers and girlfriends of the soldiers came up with a biscuit to provide as much nutritional value to their fighting men as possible. Because of the scarcity at the front line of fresh food supplies, and the need for the item to be able to survive travel for a period of months to the war front they based their biscuit on a Scottish recipe using rolled oats.

Anzac Day is on 25th April every year, Australians commemorate Anzac day, the landing of Australian and New Zealand troops at Gallipoli on 25th April 1915. The date, 25th April, was officially named Anzac Day in 1916.
