The first remembrance field dedicated to the men and women killed in Afghanistan is due to be opened by Prince Harry later.
The prince is to plant a cross in the Royal British Legion Wootton Bassett Field of Remembrance at Lydiard Park in Wiltshire.
The 342 people who have lost their lives in the conflict will be honoured with a two-minute silence.
Up to 35,000 crosses will be planted, each with a personal message.
Royal British Legion repatriation officer Anne Bevis said: "It will mean a lot to the people of Wootton Bassett and Wiltshire to know that there is a Field of Remembrance solely dedicated to those men and women in the British Armed Forces who have lost their lives in Afghanistan.
"This is the first of its kind and we're very proud."
The prince is also due to meet armed forces personnel hoping to raise £1m for the Royal British Legion in the 1,000-mile March For Honour, and see them off on their last leg to London.
The march is to commemorate servicemen and women who have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Funds from March For Honour and the 2010 Poppy Appeal will pay for welfare and rehabilitation work for the armed forces community.
For more than two years people in Wootton Bassett have been stopping to pay their respects to dead soldiers repatriated to RAF Lyneham and driven through the town on the way to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.
