Ek2 Urkunde Question

[Scott Powell]

I posted this on GMIC,and will post here as well:

I am just venturing into the magnificent world of Urkenden,so please bear with me if I ask dumb questions.



I have a named grouping on it's way,and I am trying to research the soldier's unit and actions it saw.



Ludwig Jackobs was born in Sternberg, Mecklenberg-Schwerin 1-July- 1875 and served in the Leib-Kompanie Großherzoglich Mecklenburgisches Grenadier - Regiment 89 from 16-Oct-1895- 16-Sept-1897 as a Grenadier with his conduct termed 'Sehr Gut'









He was recalled during The Great War,and was awarded the EK 2 on 3-31-1917.







When i research the" Infantarie Regiments Nr. 395 I draw a total blank, but when i researched the 17th Division I see the Mecklenburgisches Grenadier - Regiment 89 was part of the 34.Infanterie-Brigade

My question is this: am i reading the Regimental number incorrectly,or was he on TDY with Infantarie Regiments Nr. 395 when he was awarded the Ek 2( I notice his rank on the Urkunde is Landsturmann )



Here are his Identity Disks





Any info is VERY much appreciated

According to Kraus's book on the line infantry regiments, the 395th was attached to the 17.Division from Feb.23-March 7, 1917. Otherwise, they were normally attached to the 9.Res.Division.

The dogtags are interesting. I can't clearly see the reverse, but on the front it mentions two units, the 11.Landsturm training battalion Posen and infantry regiment 335. The 335th was formed in Posen.
