maker of baking powder, custard powder, cornflour and jelly crystals.

ANZAC stands for Australia New Zealand Army Corps. ANZAC was created to
battle for the British Empire in WW1 (1914-1918). ANZAC forces saw action
at Gallipoli in Turkey and the Western Front of Europe. Each April 25th
ANZAC Day is celebrated in Australia and New Zealand to remember the men &
women who served in times of war. Commemorative marches, speeches, wreath
laying ceremonies and flag raisings are held. It is a Public holiday.
ANZAC biscuits are said to be typical of the basic cooking that soldiers
could do with basic ingredients. The Returned Services Association has an
annual fundraising day before ANZAC day, selling red "Flanders" poppies to
aid the welfare of ex-servicemen and women.
