Jason Fellows, from Walsall, served in the 1st Battalion Staffordshire Regiment.
It was the same regiment his father served in.
He has now covered his Goldsmith Road home in crocheted poppies made by this late mother Mandy, along with Armistice Day artwork and wreaths.
He said: “All the poppies I have used were part of a project from my mom. She gave them to me before she died earlier in the year, she had crocheted 300 poppies.
"I have done what I can with what she made and I plan on expanding it year on year.
“The street we live on is quite busy so it’s a nice thing for the kids to see when they come past.”
