A bronze tablet in honour of 55 Victoria Presbyterian Church parishioners who gave their lives in the First World War was unveiled on June 25, 1922, on the west wall at the front of the church. It was designed by Edward Watson, depicting a winged cherub supporting the laurel of victory and surmounting the roll of the fallen. It was unveiled by Mrs. D.T.L. McKerroll, wife of the minister of the church.

The church at 142-158 Annette Street was closed in 2006 and it is not known what happened to the tablet.
