I have done further research and confirmed that the men below were indeed soldiers from West Brookfield. I will be posting more information about each in the future.
Thanks to Donna Seger's blog post "Some Came Back" on her blog streetsofsalem, I was introduced to a potentially valuable resource.
State Library of Massachusetts has a collection of World War I soldiers' photographs searchable by name. I found a few photos of interest, though I cannot positively identify them as West Brookfield soldiers. These photos are of men with names the same as known soldiers from town. I would appreciate feedback from anyone who knows if these photos are indeed of West Brookfield men.
