History

Young Swiss businessman, Jean Henry Dunant was appalled by the condition of the wounded soldiers he happened to see in the battle field of Solferino, Italy in 1859 during the Franco–Austrian war. He arranged relief services with the help of the local community immediately. He wrote the book Memory of Solferino suggesting that a neutral organization be established to aid the wounded soldiers in times of war.
