The page was created last year and had sparked objections from members of the armed forces and the public.
The site initially left it in place, saying it did not breach its rules.
However, Facebook removed the page shortly after being contacted by the BBC, saying a check had revealed the account holder's details to be fake.
Critics of the company have said the case highlights concerns about its review policies.
Community standards
The page was created last July and had called on visitors to "support the cause in weeding out and eliminating this worthless breed of cowardice".
Facebook's Community Standards state that it will remove content where it perceives there to be a "genuine risk of physical harm" and that members may not "credibly threaten others, or organise acts of real-world violence".
