Rosemary grows wild on the Gallipoli peninsula in Türkiye, the place where ANZAC soldiers were first deployed in combat and established the ANZAC legend in World War One (WW1).

Since ancient times, rosemary has been believed to improve memory and has been a symbol of fidelity and remembrance. So with the rosemary in this biscuit, we have a fitting commemorative symbol to help us remember those who serve and those who die in war. 

Traditionally, sprigs of rosemary are worn on Anzac Day and sometimes on Remembrance Day, and are usually handed out by Legacy and the RSL/RSA in Australia and New Zealand. 

So what's with the orange in this biscuit then....???

Well apart from being downright tasty, The Weary ANZAC biscuit company included orange as a gesture of recognition, tipping our Army slouch hat to those in the Navy on the grounds that the Navy's role in the Gallipoli campaign is generally less well known even though it played a vital role.

But how are oranges and the Navy related? We hear you say....  well, for those not familiar with Naval history... the disease of scurvy was a debilitating reality of life for sailors for centuries until a man named James Lind helped to conquer this killer disease by proving that oranges and lemons were a cure for scurvy.

Take that you salty sea dogs, and we hope you love the taste of this biscuit as much as we do, and spare yourself a case of scurvy as a bonus of devouring a dozen!
