Henry Dunant (1828–1910) was verified through the Nobel Prize biography and the International Committee of the Red Cross. Nobel confirms his dates, his Solferino witness, A Memory of Solferino, the Geneva Convention, the Red Cross as his living monument, and his first Nobel Peace Prize. ICRC verifies that the Red Cross came into being at Dunant’s initiative after he helped wounded soldiers at Solferino, published his ideas in 1862, and died in 1910 after obscurity. His worth is institutional: one battlefield’s preventable suffering became neutral medical aid, the Red Cross emblem, and treaty-backed humanitarian law.
