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.

Origins: According to a well-known Catholic legend, Emperor Constantine the Great won the battle of the Milvian Bridge against Maxentius in the year 312, because previously (at Saxa Rubra) he had seen a vision where he saw a cross with the words "In hoc signo vinces" (in this sign you will conquer), so he had his soldiers carry a cross on their armors and shields.
