Australian manufacturer of bakery foods, Unibic, will be releasing two new limited edition Anzac biscuits up to the lead up of Anzac Day.
The limited edition biscuits have been launched to commemorate 100 years of the Royal Australian Navy and the Siege of Tobruk.
Unibic’s Anzac biscuits are the only Anzac biscuits on the market endorsed by the Returned and Services League (RSL) of Australia. Four per cent of sales from every packet and tin will go directly to the RSL, supporting war veterans, their families and local communities.
RSL National Secretary, Derek Robson, said: “The freedom and lifestyle we enjoy today is a result of the sacrifices of the men and women who showed incredible courage, mateship and determination to protect our ideals and way of life.
“One hundred years is a huge milestone for The Royal Australian Navy, and the Australian defenders of Tobruk demonstrated immense determination and courage in the face of the most intensive dive-bombing barrages in martial history,” Robson said.
Unibic has so far raised over $2 million for the RSL.
“The partnership between the RSL and Unibic is special, as it not only helps return the Anzac biscuit to its origins of fundraising for veterans, but it provides resources for us to educate younger generations about the significant aspects of Anzac history,” Robson said.
