Talk:Ernest Duchesne

There were fifteen years between his doctoral defense and his death. Was he in the army the whole time? What was he up to? Rmhermen 06:08, Apr 3, 2004 (UTC)

I've just found a rather detailed chronology of his life at http://www.bium.univ-paris5.fr/sfhad/vol8/article09.htm

Here is a quick translation from French:

• He was born May 30, 1874 in Paris
• 1894, he is admitted at "l'Ecole du Service de Santé Militaire de Lyon" (Military Health Service School of Lyon).
• 1897, he defends his thesis at age 23.
• 1898, one year internship at Val de Grace.
• 1899, he is appointed "Médecin Major de 2eme classe au 2 nd Regiment de Hussards de Senlis".
• 1901, he marries Rosa LASSALAS, from Cannes. She dies 2 years later of tuberculosis.
• 1904, he contracts an unknown pulmonary disease.
• 1907, he is discharged from the army and sent to a care center in Amelie les Bains.
• April 12, 1912, he dies at age 37.
• He is buried next to his wife in Cannes cemetery.
