Terrific @iserbrown - I've just gleaned a bottle of Golden Syrup from a uke friend (I couldn't be bothered lining up at the supermarket for just one item!!) So will start making them as well!! I used to LOVE them as a kid - it was my job to make them!
And in keeping with ANZAC .... I am currently doing some research on a distance relative that used to be in the Northern NSW Scottish Rifles regiment. Some fought in the Boer War. It was disbanded just before WW1 and they were all absorbed into other regiments. But they were definitely the most flamboyantly dressed!!
This pic was taken either late 1800s or early 1900s.
We 'think' he is my great Grandfather - but have been unable to find any records of him being a member - other than he joined up for WW1 giving his age as 50 (he was 55) and his son (my grandfather) also joined. Both survived the war & came home.
It is a glass photo, sadly busted & now glued onto clear glass .....
