The worldwide organization of the Red Cross stems from the idea of Henri Dunant, a Swiss banker. In 1838, at the age of 10, Dunant was taken by his father to visit a prison. (32) There he saw prisoners chained together exercising in the yard and breaking stones along the road. This experience left a deep impression on him, and made him determined to do something for convicts and slaves, and for all who were oppressed and deprived of their liberty. On June 24, 1859, while he was away from Geneva to France, Dunant witnessed the battle between the French and Austrian armies. It was one of the fiercest battles of the 19th century. Shocked by the lack of medical supplies and the attention given to the wounded, Dunant decided that volunteer services had to be organized. (33) He gathered together a number of women who attended hundreds of wounded soldiers of all nationalities and helped the surgeons as best as they could. From that battle, Dunant determined to form a body of people who were ready to gather in times of war and attended to the needs of the wounded and dying. (34)Dunant held that suffering human beings should be helped regardless of race, religion or political beliefs. Many European states supported him and on August 22, 1864, the first Geneva Convention was signed. This stated that once a soldier is wounded, he and everyone who comes to his aid ceases to be an enemy. A symbol by which the relief work could be recognized was devised. (35)As a tribute to Switzerland, the symbol was a Swiss flag reversed, that is a red cross on a white background. So the Red Cross was born.
32. What first led Henri Dunant to think of helping the oppressed?
33. What did Henri Dunant do during the battle between the French and Austrian armies?
