[1] He was 24 years old, and a second lieutenant in the 1/4th Battalion, King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment[2] when he was awarded the VC for his actions on 9 April 1918 at Givenchy, France.

The enemy were pressing him hard with bombs and machine-gun fire from close range.

The heroic self-sacrifice of 2nd Lt. Collin was a magnificent example to all.His Victoria Cross is displayed at the King's Own Royal Regiment Museum, Lancaster, England.
