tude to the aged Henri Dunant, founder
of the Red Cross. NJ. Dunant acted as
q volunteer nurse at the battle OF Sol
ferino In 1859. and his description of
the awful sufierings Of the wounded on
that occasion, published under the title
Of I'm Souvenir dc Solferino." caused
a profound stir throughout Europe
The Geneva Society for Public Utility
invited N. D,inant to propose scheme
for the relief Of the miseries Of the
fallen In wartime. lie responded by
proposing that corps Of trained nurses
should be established In every country
and that system Of neutrality be-
tween warning nations should be insti-
tuted whereby those engaged In tend
Ing the sick and wounded should be
protected by wearing distinctive
badge. The direct result was the sum.
moning Of an International conference
and the signature Of the famous Geneva
convention In August, 1864. whereby
the neutrality Of doctors and nurses In
wartime was established. The Red
