[Pharmacists at the imperial School of the Service of military health of Strasbourg (1856-1870)].
The nineteenth century caused significant upheavals in numerous fields like techniques, in philosophy and in politics. Military pharmacy took advantage of this transition period. Military chemists became regular soldiers and officers: their training became resolutely scientific and their assignments covered extensive fields. Heiress of an important tradition of teaching, the School of Pharmacy from Strasbourg trained numerous chemists whose held important positions in the Health Service of the armies. The creation of the imperial School of the military Health service in Strasbourg in 1856 and the integration of the chemists in this School in 1864 represented the height of the pharmaceutical teaching in the Alsatian capital city. The attendance of the military students and their sacrifices during the siege in 1870 marked the memory of their contemporaries from Strasbourg.
