The wooden honour roll commemorates those from Victor Harbor and District who died in service or were killed in action in World War Two. Seven of the soldiers on the honour roll were members of the church. 

March 20.
St. Augustine's Church, Victor Harbor, was crowded to capacity this afternoon when an honor roll of the fallen of World War 11 was unveiled by the Bishop of Bendigo (Right Rev. C. L. Riley). Representatives of the RSL, the Volunteer Defence Corps, Girl Guides and Boy Scouts, and parents of the fallen men were present. The prologue was read by the rector (Rev. C. R. Whereat), and the lesson was read by Brig. M. J. Moten. The president of the local RSL sub-branch (Mr. J. Greenbank) placed a wreath on the memorial tablet.
