The Centenary of our Publication

Extract

With the first number of the Bulletin international des Societes de secours aux militaires blesses edited in Geneva in October 1869 by the International Committee of Aid to the Wounded, not yet known as the International Committee of the Red Cross, there originated a publication which in 1919 was to become the Revue internationale de la Croix-Rouge, now widespread throughout the world and in which the activities, researches and intentions of our movement are described. We are therefore celebrating both the fiftieth aniversary of the Review's founding and also the centenary of the Bulletin to which it has succeded without any interruption.
