A very bloody battle a long time ago...but what is significant is the aftermath of the battle, which was witnessed by Jean-Henri Dunant. The horrors he witnessed led him to start a campaign that led to the Geneva Convention, and to the formation of the Red Cross to help reduce the suffering of war.

Remember those that suffered at Solferino, the next time you give to the Red Cross. Remember all those that suffered and died in so many wars.
