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 fields 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

battlefield. 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 Henry 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 organised a group of volunteers to help to 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 organisation 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 organisation 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 modern- 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 is not the only way you can help out- the Red Cross also encourages you

to donate your time if you can. This is what the Red Cross wants everyone to know.​
