The names on the Red Hook Memorial located approximately at 325 Van Brunt Street. So far I've researched Michael F. Tierney, Alfred Libstein, Salvatore Vitelli, Samuel Horowitz, Richard J. Belsner, Edward McCutcheon, Joseph LaCamera and Jacob Knudson

The Red Hook Memorial Post #5195 located next to the memorial plaques

The doughboy who sits atop the plaque with the names of those who gave their life in World War I "This memorial, which honors those local heroes from Red Hook who died while serving their country in World War I, was dedicated in 1921. Augustus Lukeman (1872–1935) was the sculptor commissioned by a war memorial committee, which solicited voluntary contributions totaling $10,000 from the citizens of the Third Assembly District for the sculpture. Arthur D. Pickering was the architect who designed the granite pedestal. Lukeman depicts the doughboy in an active pose, head held triumphantly upright, his hat held aloft, and a rifle slung over his shoulder. Over time the monument suffered from weathering and vandalism. The bronze honor roll tablet was stolen around 1971. In 1972, custody of the monument was transferred to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #5195, located at 321-325 Van Brunt Avenue in Brooklyn. At that time the bronze statue was cleaned, the pedestal recut, and a new honor roll fabricated."
