Syringes from the Battle of the Somme

Syringes from the Battle of the Somme 
 
This rare set of World War I medical instruments, recovered from a destroyed French field hospital at the Battle of the Somme, offers a powerful glimpse into the realities of wartime medicine. Used by field medics during one of the bloodiest confrontations of the Great War, these items bear witness to the resilience and ingenuity of those who served under fire.
Their provenance and preservation make them invaluable for collectors of military and medical history. More than utilitarian tools, they are silent witnesses to human endurance, sacrifice, and the evolution of battlefield care.
Owning this set means acquiring an artifact that speaks of courage, craftsmanship, and the profound human stories behind every wound treated and life saved.
