The story of the red/white cross as a well recognizable sign continued: Henry Dunant, the Swiss founder of the "Red Cross" introduced the reverse of the Swiss flag (a red cross on a white background) as the sign for the rescue services to be recognized as such on the battle fields. Today, the American Red Cross Association has ensured an exclusive right for the use of this sign in the US. Therefore, when local rescue teams in ski areas want to signal themselves as such, they use the reverse sign of the Red Cross, a white cross on a red background…..which is nothing but the Swiss flag!
