In preparing this article I came across some information that touches me personally. Those who know me have heard me talk about the generations of family that have served before me. I found one family member that served with the Expeditionary Force at Vimy and also at the third battle of Ypres. Sapper Paul A. Colterman (surprisingly I was not named after him), who started with the East Ontario Regiment and was a stationary engineer by trade, was one of the many Canadians that served our country barely 50 years after Canada became a country. A name I am now even more honoured to carry myself. So next time you hear someone talk about Vimy Ridge or any other battle taken on by Canadians, remember there may be a close lineage to your own family or that of the person next to you. We will remember. -PC Page 8 The Courier News & Publishing Tuesday, April 4, 2017 RCAF Supports Vimy Flight Association
