During World War 1 the ANZACs were sent to three different locations.
1. The Western Front
2. Gallipoli
3. The Middle East
"The Western Front was the name the Germans gave to a series of trenches that ran 700 kilometres from the Belgian coast to the Swiss border." - 'Don't forget me, cobber!' by Matt Anderson
The Gallipoli Campaign was an attempt to capture the capital of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey), Istanbul. It was also to make a sea route to Russia. But the plan failed.
ANZACs were sent to the Middle East and Jerusalem to free it from the hold of the Turks and Muslims. The 800 light horsemen were a famous battalion of troops who played a role in the war in the Middle East.

What do Anzac biscuits have to do with ANZAC Day?
ANZAC biscuits are part of the ANZAC tradition, although they are by no means limited to just ANZAC Day. They are quite a favourite biscuit in Australia. The ANZAC biscuits were so named because they were made by the women at home and sold to buy small necessities and luxuries for the ANZAC(Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) troops in World War I. These little "comforts of home" included things like soap, toothpaste, pencils, books and lollies. The ANZAC biscuits were also sent to the troops because, being flat and made with oats and syrup, they travelled well and lasted longer, unlike standard cakes and biscuits. Originally the biscuits were called "soldiers' biscuits", and only gained the name "ANZAC biscuits" towards the end of the war, long after the unsuccessful Gallipoli campaign. It was an expression of patriotic pride in the Australian and New Zealand troops serving overseas.
