While technically not a Red Cross stamp (one of my topical interests) Norway issued two stamps (Scott 401 and 402) on December 9, 1961 commemorating the first recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901:

Henry Dunant of Switzerland, Founder of the International Committee of the Red Cross and Originator of the Geneva Convention.

Frédéric Passy of France, Founder and President of the first French Peace Society (Société française pour l'arbitrage entre nations).

Interestingly the International Committee of the Red Cross (and Red Crescent) has received the Nobel Peace Prize three times (1917, 1944, and 1963), the only organization or individual so honored. Only one other organization has receive this prize more than once.
