Neil Chambers, son William and grandson George, 6, last year handed over a portrait of Selwyn Chambers to Havelock North Primary School representatives Alice Hoogerbrug and Cooper McDougal.
Poppy symbols will start springing up on street signs around the region to honour those who fought for their country.
Havelock North's Selwyn Rd will be marked with a poppy after a public ceremony tomorrow - Poppy Day.
The street was named after Major Selwyn Chambers - who was killed
in action during the battle of Suvla Bay in Gallipoli on August 7, 1915. He was 28.
The national Places of Remembrance project and New Zealand Poppy Places Trust are making sure the street signs, parks and other memorials that honour those who went to war are more easily recognised - by marking them with a poppy.
Local MP Craig Foss, Mayor Lawrence Yule, members of the Chambers family, RSA representatives and students from Havelock North Primary School will attend the unveiling at 3pm tomorrow, on the corner of Selwyn Rd and Margaret Ave in Havelock North. Selwyn was born into the well-known Chambers family on Tauroa Station in the latter years of the 19th century, and educated at Havelock North school.
