  ANZAC day is celebrated in Australia on April 25.  On this day in
  1915, the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) landed at
  Gallipoli, and suffered the worst defeat in Australian military
  history. The fallen soldiers of all wars are now commemorated on
  ANZAC day. Another cookbook stated that these cookies were sold to
  raise money to help returned veterans.
