ANZAC is an acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
To commemorate and remember those Australian and New Zealand soldiers that fought to maintain democracy and sacrifice their lives for our freedom, on the 25th  day of April of every year. Also in remembrance of my grandfather-in law Pte Walter James William Ford. 102 years ago, he returned home to NZ having served in the Somme.
We bake some Anzac Biscuits in remembrance of them. These Biscuits can be baked all year round too as it is New Zealand's favourite Biscuits. For those of you who may be interested, further details about ANZAC day can be found on the link below:
