2. Gallipoli What happened?
On the 25th of April 1915, ANZAC troops got shipped to Gallipoli and at 4:00 arrived at their destination 2500 yards away from the shore.Our ANZACs landed near the narrow strip of bay and trudged through the water, as they did so, they got sniped by the Turks, who were cleverly positioned on top of the hills and cliffs. Many ANZACs died, some men didn’t even make it to the merciless beach of Gallipoli.

They had sold out pretty quickly and raised approximately $13,000 with approximately $3,000 going to the French Children’s League, who were the people who made the poppies. The remaining $10,000 were donated to the soldiers and their families to help them out as most of them were unemployed.

ANZAC Biscuits
The Real ANZAC Biscuit
The rolled oats, the crumbly texture… is that really the real ANZAC biscuit?
Research shows that ANZAC biscuits were too crummy to actually make the voyage. The real ANZAC biscuit is a Gingernut! She was a woman named Helena Barnard, who had 8 sons fighting in the war. Helena was sick and tired of waiting around for something to happen, so she took her mixing spoon with pride and made gingernuts for the soldiers fighting in the war.It was said that almost every soldier had a gingernut in there pocket while fighting in the trenches.
