It was very common Marty to lose more than one son from a family as well as fathers and cousins and uncles. I think from memory and I may have the wrong war but in World War II we lost almost a complete generation of young men...how bloody tragic is that.
Do hope that you have placed your poem in pride of place along with their photos. Would be worthwhile IMO putting together a memorial book (if someone has not already done so) with all the details known included to be kept in your family for generations to come - it is a heritage to be rightly proud of.
