I need help with an inscription, please. The one below is on the WW I section of the war memorial in Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The name of Corporal E. K. Coulter, R.P.A. appears in the section “Other Units in British Expeditionary Force”. In this context, that means not a member of any Irish Regiment, and not Canadian, etc. Letters after a name on this memorial may indicate a decoration or a regiment/corps.

Problem 1. What does R.P.A. mean?

Problem 2. Who was Cpl. E. K. Coulter? I can’t find him on the C.W.G.C. website, even with everything “Unknown” except World War I.

Hope you can solve this. Michael

not on sdgw or mic either.
know a Irish Woolsley Coulter races bikes and Aussie Matt Coulter who stunt rides quads amongst others.

If its any use I also found a H J Dundas who was a Driver in the R P A.

the African Tutsi Rebel army or Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) seems to have been a 1970's force unless its anything to do with the Rationalist Press Association could have been a reporter.

Thanks, chaz. Where did you find H. J. Dundas? The name isn't on C.W.G.C.
