Fifty-two young people will wear special poppies in a Remembrance service.
The service will take place in Copythorne Parish, which includes Bartley, Cadnam, Winsor, Newbridge, Ower, and Copythorne.
It is a tradition for 52 youngsters from two village schools, the guides, and the scouts to wear these poppies to honour the 52 men who died in the two world wars.
Their stories are displayed in an "Avenue of Remembrance" at St Mary's Church, next to the war memorial, thanks to the Copythorne History Society.
The half-mile parade will start at the parish hall and finish at the war memorial.
The service will be conducted by the Rev Neville Jacobs while Mrs V Lovell, JP, the deputy lieutenant, will lay the first of more than 30 wreaths from national and local organisations.
The Stanley's Own scout and guide band will lead the parade.
