Anzac Day

ANZAC Day -25th April

Anzac Day is a national day of Remembrance in Australia and NZ for the men who served and died in all wars,
The men who served in the war could only eat tinned corned beef , rice , jam, cocoa, tea and what was known as Hard tack or Anzac wafer which was like a hard biscuit , with a long shelf life.
Many of the soldiers were surrounded by dead bodies and blood , which made them prone to diseases and infections , some of them are ,
 Body lice 
Trench foot
 Trench fever
 and the Spanish flu

 These  diseases took a lot of the lives of our soldiers while they were at war.
