Abstract

Abstract: The Red Cross Association of the Countries of the Hungarian Holy Crown was founded on 16th May 1881 in Budapest, with the aim of carrying out humanitarian activities in addition to the curing and caring of injured or sick war veterans, going beyond military attendance and complementing state attendance. Between 1887 and 1899 ten branches were founded in Somogy. In addition to the already existing branches of the county seat, the patriotic fervor following the breakout of the war resulted in the establishment of 53 further healthcare facilities with altogether 1822 beds for the injured soldiers in 40 municipalities. This is the very first essay to describe their activities, disclosing detailed monitoring data about the amount of donations. The essay describes in detail the history of the two largest branches of the county (Balatonlelle and Szigetvár).
