to sick and injured servicemen, prisoners of war and civilians needing relief. He made field visits to France and Italy and introduced the first motor ambulances for use in France in 1914. Sir Arthur played a key part in the post-war discussions which led to the founding of the League of Red Cross Societies (today known as the IFRC). In 1938, he chaired the XVIth International Red Cross Conference in London, when he was elected to the Standing Commission. The outbreak of World War Two in 1939 saw Stanley again elected as chairman of the Joint War Organisation of the British Red Cross Society and of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. Stanley’s concerns were not confined to Britain. He was a key player in an initiative taken by the American, British, French, Italian and Japanese Red Cross societies to expand the role of the Red Cross from its focus on World War One relief by establishing the League of Red Cross Societies, later the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. Stanley was permanently disabled and frequently in pain after contracting rheumatic fever in the 1880’s, but this did not hamper his activities throughout two world wars. 15 Sir Arthur was renowned for his ability to charm committees and devoted his life with enthusiasm to seeking the relief of suffering. He received numerous honours, including being made a Commander of the Legion d’Honneur in 1920. 16 Sir Stanley was born on November 18 th 1869 in Watford and died on November 4 th 1947 in Eastbourne. 17 15 http://www.redcross.int/en/history/not_Stanley.asp 16 British Red Cross 17 Standing Commission 11
Dr Alvaro Carlos Tourinho 1934-1938 Dr Tourinho was a member of the Standing Commission between 1934 and 1938. 18 He was the President of the Brazilian Red Cross Society between 1930 and 1942, during which time he was officially designated by the Brazilian Government to head the Brazilian delegation at the Sixteenth International Conference in London in 1938. However, due to ill health Mr Tourinho could not travel and it was headed by the then Vice-President of the Brazilian National Society, Dr Daniel de Carvalho. Outside of the movement, General Álvaro Carlos Tourinho was Director of Health of the Brazilian Army and was honoured with both the Commander of the French Legion Medal of Honour and Honorary Member of the Academy of Medicine of Rio de Janeiro. He died in May 1960 in Rio de Janeiro. 19 18 Standing Commission 19 Brazilian Red Cross Society 12
