Due to the declarations of the Prussian-German War , Burchard had to interrupt his studies in June 1866 in order to fulfill his military duties. He was drafted into the Prussian Army "as a one-year volunteer junior doctor" and served as such during the war in Neisse, first with the 18th Landwehr Regiment, then with the replacement battalion of the 62nd Line Regiment. Then Burchard was able to continue his studies in the 7th and 8th semester in Halle at the United Friedrichs University Halle-Wittenberg , at whose medical faculty he did his dissertation on July 23, 1867 on the subject of the course of the accessory Willisii in the vagus ...

Later, August Burchard succeeded Wilhelm Viol as ophthalmologist and chief physician in charge of the sanatorium for eye patients , which had been run by Viol since 1852, at the then Ohlauerstraße 47 , which was maintained by the Silesian Association for the Support and Healing of Poor Eye Sicknesses and in which some up to around 3000 eye patients could be treated annually.
