The chapel commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. The Chapel was named and dedicated in September 1996, as a designated memorial space. 

During World War One, the Reverend Dr Ernest Merrington, the Minister at Saint Andrew’s at the time, served as a Chaplain with Australian Imperial Force troops at Egypt, Gallipoli and Europe. This Chapel honours him and all those whose names are listed on the Honour Roll Boards. The 266 people named on the Honour Roll Boards had strong links to Saint Andrew’s and the wider Brisbane community.

The Chapel, a transept within the church building, has been refurbished, along with restoration of the Honour Boards, new lighting and signage through grants from the State and Commonwealth Governments.

Note: Ernest Merrington is listed as a separate entry.
