WWI veteran search

Hi guys, I have another search that I am needing help on. The following info is taken from a WWI German dog tag, can anyone decipher this for me.

Georg Friedel Mannheim (Name)
10. 10. 84. (DOB)
Ers. Btl. Fs. Art. Reg. 20 (?)
3. B. Ldw. Fs. A. Btl. 46 (?)
Nr. 270 (?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

His first unit is:

Ersatz Battalion Fuss Artillerie Regiment No 20 (War raised Field Artillery Regt No 20)

His second unit is:

3rd (?Brigade) Landwehr Fuss Artillerie Battalion 46

(3rd Landwehr Field Artillery Battalion No 46)

Nr 270 should be his 'service number' I think.

Hope this helps; am sure others will confirm or otherwise these details.

 

Thanks Sommecourt. Is there anyway to get info on this soldier?

 

Mannheim is also a city, and Georg Friedel already sounds like the complete name. So this could be where he was recruited.

 

You could try posting on one of the good WW1 forums:

Oh, many thanks, Sommecourt! I had been looking for a WWI forum for a while. I now will have to feed my other military passion...

 

See you there then, Mein General!
