Portraits of King Chulalongkorn and King Vajiravudh (fig.), the Administrative Building, i.e. the first headquarters of the hospital (fig.), and the centenary celebration logo of the Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, i.e. the Thai number 100 (๑๐๐) in gold, underneath the International Red Cross logo and the Thai national flag over the two zeros of the number hundred. Whereas Rama V set up the Thai Red Cross Society, initially under the name Red Unnahlohm Society of Siam, it was Rama VI who widened the scope of its activities and founded the Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, which was named after his father and built with donations of His Majesty and King Rama V's other sons and daughters, along with funds from the society's trust, which was at that time also renamed to Siamese Red Cross Society.
