Extract

It was in 1907, at the VIIIth International Conference of the Red Cross in London, that the Hungarian Red Cross proposed setting up a Nightingale fund “for an international commemorative medal intended for women who have distinguished themselves exceptionally in their nursing activities”. Its desire was to commemorate Florence Nightingale's devotion by a bronze medal engraved with the statuette of “The Lady with the Lamp” at St. Thomas' Hospital in London.
