Molineux will proudly honour those who have fallen while making the ultimate sacrifice during Saturday's Southampton fixture.
The Premier League clash falls one day before Remembrance Sunday and both sets of supporters, players and staff will pay their respects, while six members of the military will represent the Armed Forces community.
In the build-up, the Molineux corner flags will be modified to feature red poppies, while a large circular banner, featuring both the Wolves badge and a poppy, will fill the centre circle as both teams warm up.
Ahead of kick-off, the military representatives will be welcomed onto the pitch. They will feature Sargeant Daniel McNamara of the Royal Air Force, and also Wolves Women head coach, alongside Major Wayne Picken of the Royal Artillery and the Royal Marines Cadets’ Corporal Kieran Singh Sandhu.
Also present will be Lance Corporal Nkyi Boafo of the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers, the Royal Highland Fusiliers’ Sargeant William ‘Bill’ Harley and Valerie Pollard, former Senior Nursing Sister at the Queen Alexandra’s Royal Naval Nursing Service.
Both teams will follow them onto the pitch, before the referee’s whistle will signal the beginning of a period of silence. Band Colour Sergeant Hugh Sutherland from Band of the Royal Regiment of Fusilier will then perform the Last Post live.
Bringing people together is an important aspect of the club’s Remembrance fixture, with service and sacrifice an integral part of Britain's shared heritage and history.
Wolverhampton and the West Midlands’ diversity will be represented, with different regiments, forces, genders and cultural backgrounds forming this year’s military personnel on the pitch.
As was the case against Crystal Palace last weekend, both sets of players will wear poppies on their shirts, with the two sets later signed and made available for auction, raising money for the Royal British Legion.
The Premier League’s poppy auctions began in 2012, providing support to veterans, serving personnel and their families, through such difficulties as homelessness, unemployment trauma and mental health and wellbeing.
This year's appeal highlights the mental scars linked to military service. Battlefield trauma and mental health illnesses can manifest at any time in life and in different ways, including addiction, debt, homelessness and relationship breakdowns.
Since 2012, more than £4.7m raised has been raised for the Armed Forces community, and prior to Saturday, Wolves supporters can contribute by purchasing a Wolves poppy badge for £4 via poppyshop.org.uk.
