  • First issue of fresh bread on Anzac from the 1st Australian Field Bakery on Imbros. A soldier from the 10th Battalion remarked that despite the fact that the bread was a bit wet from being transported on the open deck, it was a good deal better than the standard issue hard army biscuit known as the ‘Anzac Wafer’.
