He sent copiesof this book to political and military leaders in Europe. He also started up a relief organizationfor wounded soldiers, and urged countries to sign treaties regarding the care of woundedsoldiers. Along with this, he wanted medics on the battlefield and field hospitals to beconsidered neutral.In order for opposing sides to identify medics during battles, the international sign of a redcross on a white background would be used. By 1863, the International Committee of the RedCross was formed, and medics first used the white and red armbands during a battle inDenmark.
