With profound regret, the International Committee learned of the sudden death of Mr. Charles Ammann. He joined the Red Cross in 1945, when he was assigned to the staff of the Greek Relief Management Commission, and subsequently occupied a number of positions in which he demonstrated his organizing ability and administrative proficiency. He was appointed assistant delegate, and was later in charge of management problems at the ICRC delegation in Paris. He returned to Geneva in 1951 and took over the management of the Relief Section, assuming a few years afterwards the management of the Fund Raising Division.
