The Military Wounded Relief Society was established in 1864 with the signing of the Geneva Agreement (1863). It was recognized as socially useful in 1866. His activities spread to France and the Colonies, but it was her ambulances in the war of 1870-1871 that made her famous. Its volunteer members - doctors, brothers of Christian schools, sisters of Mercy, male and female volunteers provided to the Military Sanitation Corps - made the Red Cross popular, which was their sign.
