Or Drop into see Jo or Alison at the Service Centre on Church St in Masterton.
This date is the anniversary of the birth of Henry Dunant, who was born on 8 May 1828
The idea of the Red Cross was born in 1859. Henry Dunant, a young Swiss man, came upon the scene of a bloody battle in Solferino, Italy. About 40,000 men lay dead or dying, with no medical attention. Dunant organised local people to feed, comfort and care for the wounded soldiers. After the battle, he called for the creation of national relief societies, to assist those wounded in war.
