  Australia and New Zealand commemorate their war dead on Anzac Day
  (Australian & New Zealand Army Corps, which were among the first
  soldiers ashore in the battle at Gallipoli in 1915 during World War I
  ~ a 9-month campaign with grievous losses). This day has become our
  most important national day of remembrance.
  
  Scottish oatmeal biscuits were cooked at home during WWI and sent to
  the soldiers fighting overseas.  After the war, these oat-based
  biscuits were named Anzac Biscuits when they were made and sold as
  fund-raisers for returned soldiers.
    
  Mix oats, flour, sugar and coconut.  Melt syrup and margarine
  [butter!] together in a small saucepan.  Mix soda with boiling water
  and add to the syrup and margarine mix.  Add dry ingredients and mix
  thoroughly.
  
  Place globs (about 1 T each) of the mix onto greased trays, allowing
  room for spreading while cooking.
  
  Cook for about 30 minutes at 150 degrees Celsius [about 300 F] Cool
  completely on racks before storing any you might have left :-) Makes
