Couldn't read the writing, but going on the transcription posted on the German site, this is what I make of it:

Forces mail.

Lieutenant
E. Belling
Field Artillery(?) Regiment
7th Battery

Starg(ard) 22 Aug ‘17

Dear Ernst. A short greeting from Stargard. I have had no news of Gustel for over 3 weeks. I hope from day to day. There must be some hold-up [in the mail].
Hopefully you are well.
Do you still think, do you still think of the beautiful wedding evening? It was really beautiful. Best wishes from your sister (?) Miez


Could be sister (probably) or sister-in-law.

From Jörg227 and HenryWilhelm:
Gemeinsame Lesung mit Henry:

Feldpost

Herrn Leutnant
E. Belling
Feld-Art. Rgt. 204
7. Batterie

Starg., d. 21.VIII.17
Lieber Ernst! Einen kurzen Gruß aus
Stargard. Von Gustel habe ich über drei
Wochen keine Nachricht. Ich hoffe von Tag
zu Tag. Es soll Sperre sein. Hoffentlich
geht's dir gut. "Denkst du noch, denkst
du noch an den schönen Hochzeitsabend?
Schön war erwirklich. Herzliche Grüße
von Deiner Schw.*) Miez.

*) kann Schwester (wahrscheinlich) oder Schwägerin heißen. Aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach schreibt hier die Miez von der ersten Karte

Schw. is an abbreviation for either Schwester / Sister or Schwägerin / Sister in Law

The "Miez" here is probably the same Miez [abbrwv. from Miezekatze / Pussy cat = 'Puss']  from redroger's first card

Thanks for the information; I'm sure that will come in useful when I start making enquiries about these cards now I have translations.

Final 2 cards attached for translation please. Despite work by Gadget, the Alsace card is very bad, and it may well be impossible to read the test. Thanks

I'll see if I can get the Alsace one up a bit more, Roger, but it is hardly visible  Undecided

Could you print  off the large version and carefully go over the writing with a pencil and re-scan. It might work.

Tried that Gadget, and got nowhere.Perhaps it might work if someone familiar with old German script tried?
