Question

On June 24, 1859, Emperors Napoleon III and Franz Joseph I

were engaged in the Battle of Solferino, commanding a combined

total of about 2,70,000 troops onto the 'field for a single day of

battle. Nearly 40,000 were either dead, injured, or missing and

many of them were simply left to die on the battle field. Later,

spectators crowded the fields, looking for loved ones, searching for

items they could sell, or for simply taking in the horrors of the

battle. A Swiss businessman and social activist Jean Henri Dunant,

who was travelling in Solferino, witnessed all this.

Jean Henri Dunant witnessed the atrocities of war as well as

the helplessness of the countries not prepared or equipped to ease

the suffering of those who had been injured in the Battle of

Solferino. Dunant organized a group of volunteers to help bring

water and food to the injured, to assist with medical treatment, or

to write letters to the families of those who were dying. He also

urged the public to create an organization which would assist the

wounded, regardless of which side they fought for during the times

of war. From that moment, he wrote the book, A Memory of

Solferino, which urged the public to create an organization which

would assist the wounded, regardless of which side they 'fought for

during the times of war. His writing inspired countless others to

rally behind him in the creation of the International Federation of

the Red Cross.

The modem-day Red Cross began by devoting itself largely to the

acts of disaster relief and epidemic treatment. This effort

continues to this day. One of the easiest ways you can help the

Red Cross is to make sure you are able to donate blood and

make an appointment at the Red Cross website. But donating

blood isn't the only way you can help out-the Red Cross also

encourages you to donate your time if you can. This is what the
