Vegemite, a dark yeast extract spread, is a popular Australian food product. ...Vintage 8oz clear Vegemite jars, specifically those used between 1935 and 1945, are a piece of Australian food history. These jars, originally used for packaging Vegemite, were often repurposed after use, with some finding new life as storage for beads. The Vegemite spread itself was invented in 1923 by Cyril Callister, and initially struggled to gain popularity until it was co-marketed with Kraft cheese. During World War II, Vegemite's popularity soared as it became a staple in Australian Army rations. Vegemite, a dark yeast extract spread, is a popular Australian food product. It is known for its strong, salty, and slightly bitter flavor. The Kraft brand was historically associated with Vegemite, but the brand is now owned by Bega Cheese. Vegemite is a staple in many Australian households and is often enjoyed on toast with butter. A small clear glass Vegemite jar with a rusted white and red screw top metal lid. On the red band is 'Vegemite 8oz. with suggested use in cooking.The lid has white lettering on a red surrounding band: 'VEGEMITE 8oz .

... In 1939 Vegemite was officially endorsed by the British Medical Association as a good source of Vitamin B and was included in Australian Army rations during World War II.

Buyers were now assured of the nutritional value of Vegemite, which has been a market leader ever since. ...Vegemite hit the market in 1923 but failed to sell. In 1928 the company renamed its spread Parwill to compete against the top-selling British import, Marmite but Parwill flopped too. In 1922 the Fred Walker Company hired a chemist, Percy Callister, to develop a useful food from vitamin-rich used yeast being dumped by breweries. Using enzymes to split open the yeast cells, Callister extracted the contents and blended them with vegetables and salt into a sticky black paste with a sharp taste. They tried the Vegemite name again and gave the product away with Walker cheese products and a couple of cars as prizes before Australians finally fell for it. In 1939 Vegemite was officially endorsed by the British Medical Association as a good source of Vitamin B and was included in Australian Army rations during World War II. Buyers were now assured of the nutritional value of Vegemite, which has been a market leader ever since. The Fred Walker Company became the Kraft Walker Cheese Co. Pty Ltd in 1926 and Kraft Foods Limited in 1950. (from Powerhouse Museum) This type of jar was used to package Vegemite between 1935 and 1945. Vegemite has been an 'Australian icon' since World War II when it was recognised as one of the world's highest food sources of vitamin B. It was sent to war with the troops and rationed at home. The marketing strategy that put Vegemite in 9 out of every 10 Australian homes in the 1940s, 50s and 60s emphasised the value of Vegemite to children's health.

... This item is an example of an early ration supplied to soldiers serving overseas. army-biscuits boer-war-biscuits Three dry biscuits, hard tack, roughly rectangular shape and with 6 prick holes. biscuit rations ...These biscuits were supposedly issued to Jacob Perry when he served in the Boer War in South Africa in 1899. Jacob Perry was a member of an early family in Orbost and these biscuits were donated by George Perry. Hard tack biscuits were part of a soldier's individual ration in the Boer War and were so hard that they were often soaked in water before consumption if this was possible. Made of 13 parts flour to one part of water, the biscuits were slowly dried in the baking process, rendering them so hard that they deterred attacks from weevil pests and allowing them to be transported with little breakage. Hard ration biscuits were a staple of soldier's diets. This item is an example of an early ration supplied to soldiers serving overseas.Three dry biscuits, hard tack, roughly rectangular shape and with 6 prick holes.army-biscuits boer-war-biscuits -

It contained three meals, each waterproofed (a vital consideration for the tropics), which offered a balanced selection of meat, vegetables, fruit and vitamin supplements. Before the development of this ration pack, Australian soldiers were supplied with quantities of preserved food that were difficult for a man to carry and divide, and which often did not provide a nourishing diet. Sir Cedric Stanton Hicks (1892-1976), university professor and army catering officer, was born on 2 June 1892 at Mosgiel, New Zealand. University of Otago (B.Sc., N.Z., 1914; M.Sc.
