Hmm.
I
know
which
one
I’d
rather
eat.
What
about
you?
5. The
photo
shows
a
‘Real’
ANZAC
Biscuit
from
World
War
I.
This
is
what
the
ANZACs
ate
in
the
trenches.
These
were
made
by
ArnoWs
Biscuit
factory.
Soldiers
ate
the
biscuits
instead
of
bread.
Bread
was
not
easy
to
transport,
and
it
didn’t
last
for
very
long.
These
biscuits
were
not
sweet
at
all.
Not
at
all
like
the
ones
you
get
in
your
lunch
box!
Look
closely
–
what
does
it
say
on
the
biscuit?

look

hat?
7. Slouch
Hat
The
slouch
hat
–
long
'me
symbol
of
the
Aussie
Digger.
It
is
turned
up
at
the
side
to
make
it
easier
for
soldiers
to
aim
their
weapon.
When
riding
long
distances
it
would
be
turned
down
to
give
beWer
protec'on
from
the
sun.
There’s
another
symbol
on
the
side
of
the
hat
–
do
you
know
what
it
is?
8. Bayonets
were
aWached
to
the
end

They
could
also
be
held.
No'ce

it
sharp

12. Haversack
A
haversack
is
a
canvas
bag
with
a
shoulder
strap.
It
was
used
in
World
War
I
to
carry
ammuni'on.
It
could
be
folded
up
when
empty
so
was
easy
to
carry.

13. Poppies
This
photo
shows
Poppies
growing
wild
in
France.
These
flowers
sprung
up
across
the
Flanders
baWle
fields
when
the
war
ended.
Now
these
flowers
remind
us
of
soldiers
who
have
died
in
war.
We
wear
poppies
on
Remembrance
Day
to
honour
the
signing
of
the
Armis'ce
–
(peace
treaty)
at
the
11th
hour,
of
the
11th
day,
of
the
11
month.
Lest
we
Forget.

14. In
Flanders
Field
In
Flanders
fields
the
poppies
blow
Between
the
crosses,
row
on
row,
That
mark
our
place;
and
in
the
sky
The
larks,
s'll
bravely
singing,
fly
Scarce
heard
amid
the
guns
below.
We
are
the
Dead.
Short
days
ago
We
lived,
felt
dawn,
saw
sunset
glow,
Loved
and
were
loved,
and
now
we
lie,
In
Flanders
fields.
Take
up
our
quarrel
with
the
foe:
To
you
from
failing
hands
we
throw
The
torch;
be
yours
to
hold
it
high.
If
ye
break
faith
with
us
who
die
We
shall
not
sleep,
though
poppies
grow
In
Flanders
fields.

McCrae

15. Rosemary
Rosemary
is
easy
to
iden'fy
with
its
grey-‐green
spiky
leaves
and
its
pungent
smell.
Since
ancient
'mes
it
is
believed
to
improve
memory.
Sprigs
of
rosemary
are
worn
on
ANZAC
day
as
it
grew
wild
at
Gallipoli,
and
is
a
symbol
of
remembrance.

Maybe
some
rosemary
will
help
me
remember
my
'mes
table?
There’s
rosemary
growing
at
the
museum.
16. Beersheba
‘Waving
bayonets
overhead,
they
charges
across
six
kilometers
of
open
ground.
The
light
horsemen
rode
hard,
chea'ng
bombs,
shells
and
bullets.
They
captured
the
Turkish
trenches
of
Beersheba
in
a
hand-‐to-‐hand
combat.
This
was
a
turning
point
in
World
War
1.’

I
so
wish
I
could
get
in
and
play
with
those
horses
The
charge
of
the
Light
Horse
brigade
at
Beersheba
was
a
huge
success
for
the
ANZAC
Light
Horsemen.
The
Diorama
at
the
museum
helps
to
tell
the
story.
17. Bugle
For
soldiers,
the
bugle
sounds
at
the
start
and
end
of

at
the
end
of
each
day
with

18. Colour
Patches
During
the
war,
Australian
soldiers
wore
colour
patches
of
various
shapes
and
colours.
They
showed
which
unit
they
belonged
to.
Patches
were
sown
by
hand
in
World
War
1
and
were
worn
on
the
sleeve.
Today
they
are
worn
on
the
slouch
hat.
