Hard tack (awm.gov.au)
WARNING: As biting these biscuits can break your teeth, they should be consumed after being ground up or soaking first (perhaps in gravy).
Although also known as the Anzac wafer or Anzac tile, hard tack was not based on rolled oats (as Anzac biscuits were) but were made from wholemeal and white flour. They were provided to Australian soldiers in World War 1 by the army, and have been used by other armies.
