Anzac biscuits have been sent to NZ troops overseas since 1915 by mothers, wives &
sweethearts a welcome addition to basic rations. More than 90 years later NZ defence
personal deployed overseas continue to enjoy the tradition & taste as they are included in gift
parcels by the RSA every Christmas. Poppy Day happens on the Friday before Anzac Day.
RSA volunteers exchange red poppies for a donation in support of veterans & their families.
Poppies were the first flowers that grew in the battlefields of Flanders in Belgium during
WW1 and are a symbol of remembrance & hope.
The letters of the word ANZAC stand for A-------- N--- Z------ A--- C---
