There is this death but you would need to have a transcription of the marriage certificate to establish if this is the death of Frederick's wife, Mary GRAY.

Are you sure Fred emigrated in 1921?
His brothers had occupations farm labourers and....
COUPLAND Fred, single, farm hand, departed London on 3 Feb 1912 on the ATHENIC . He was contracted to land at Hobart, Australia.
His name has been struck out as living with his family on the last available census for England which detailed his parents and siblings however he was employed as a farm hand on another farm.

The Alfred Edwin COUPLAND who died at Tamworth NSW in 1984 is not your man. He was 77 years of age and the parents aren’t a match.
There is a service file on NAA http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/index.aspx and it is possible it is your Albert Edwin. I think there are some errors in transcription. He enlisted at Wodonga which is near Albury NSW and NOK is Alla which is possibly a mistranscription of Annie. You would need to purchase the file to see if it was your man.
