He was born in England and served with the Royal West Kent Regiment before the First World War
==Details==
He was 28 years old, and a corporal in the 8th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Frederick George Coppins - Directorate of History and Heritage )〕 during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.
On 9 August 1918 at Hatchet Woods, near Amiens, France, Corporal Coppins' platoon came unexpectedly under fire of numerous machine-guns. It was not possible to advance or retire and there was no cover. Corporal Coppins, calling on four men to follow him, leapt forward in the face of intense machine-gun fire and rushed straight for the guns. The four men with him were killed and he was wounded, but going on alone, he killed the operator of the first gun and three of the crew and took four prisoners. Despite his wound, he then continued with his platoon to the final objective.
