Se documentan los hitos biográficos de Emilio Chillida (1850-1944) como practicante y socio de Cruz Roja mediante un estudio descriptivo e interpretativo de fuentes primarias. Chillida fue practicante entre 1870 y 1889 pero mantuvo sus competencias después en Cruz Roja de Álava, donde fue socio desde 1874 al final de su vida participando en sus más importantes operativos, y durante la epidemia de gripe de 1918. Condecorado con la Gran Placa de Honor y Mérito de Cruz Roja y la Gran Cruz de la Orden Civil de Beneficencia de 1ª Clase. Empresario hecho a sí mismo con incursión en política provincial, mantuvo contacto con los practicantes toda su vida colegiándose con 80 años en apoyo a la refundación del Colegio en 1930. Ineludiblemente, ser practicante y miembro de Cruz Roja complementan y ayudan a explicar su biografía conocida como empresario y político.
The biographical milestones of Emilio Chillida (1850–1944) as a practitioner and member of the Red Cross are documented through a descriptive and interpretative study of primary sources. Chillida was a practitioner between 1870 and 1889 but continued to serve in the Álava Red Cross, where he was a member from 1874 until the end of his life, participating in its most important operations, including during the 1918 flu epidemic. He was awarded the Grand Medal of Honour and Merit of the Red Cross and the Grand Cross of the Civil Order of Charity, 1st Class. A self-made businessman who ventured into provincial politics, he maintained contact with practitioners throughout his life, joining the association at the age of 80 in support of its re-founding in 1930. Inevitably, being a practitioner and a member of the Red Cross complement and help to explain his well-known biography as a businessman and politician.
