as its chairman. However, "Swiss aloofness or unilateralism was hard to overcome", and the relationship between the ICRC and the League became, and remained, a problem for years to come. In 1919, Davison published The American Red Cross in the Great War, a book describing the wartime activities of the Red Cross. He remained chairman of the league until his death in 1922. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (the league's name since 1991) grants the Henry Davison Award in his memory. Personal life On April 13, 1893, he married Kate Trubee (1871–1961). Together, they had two sons, and two daughters: Frederick Trubee Davison (1896–1974), was a director of personnel for the Central Intelligence Agency Henry Pomeroy Davison Jr. (1898–1961), was a director at Time magazine who married Anne Stillman (1902–1987), daughter of James A.
