Default German PoW Document - Need Help to Translate

Hi,

I have just come across this document today on FindmyPast relating to O (Oliver) Johnson who is the first name on the document:

https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcr.../ICRC/R/174930

The date of the document at the top is 21st January 1918 and suggests that Oliver was a PoW.

My problem is that Oliver is supposed to have died on the 27th November 1917 so seeing this document is a shock to me.

Is there anyone with any German translating skills that could help me in understanding what the first paragraph above Oliver's name and reg number actually says? Its only on the image and not the FMP translation.

Many thanks
Claire
