Wow, that script is pretty tough. You probably already have the recipient's info, but just in case:
Ers.(atz) Res.(ervist) J. Granosski (sp?)
12 Komp.(anie)
Inftr. Regt. 176
Interesting in that it seems to have been written and postmarked the same day...the rest is a mystery to me. Sorry!

I think that the penultimate line has a "gegrüsst" - 'greetings to' - in it. But the rest is hard. I'll try another gander later...

Still pondering over the writer's surname, but got this so far:
Feldpostkarte
Ersz.Res J.Gronovski
12.Komp.
Inftr.Regt.176
Absd. Luise ??Rottny
in Moythienen bei Kobulten [East Prussia, now Mojtyny near Kobułty, Poland]
Kreis Ortelsburg
Moythienen den 15.7.17.
Lieber J.
Da ich noch immer keine
Antwort von dir hielt schreibe
ich eine Karte und will
doch wissen ob du dich noch
am Leben befindest. Sei viele
mal gegrüßt von Luise
zum Wiedersehen.
Dear J., As I have still not received a reply from you, I am writing a card and want to know whether you are still alive. Greetings from Luise, until we meet again.
Adrian

He's not on the Kobulten war memorial: http://www.denkmalpr...lten_wk1_op.htm
