Kapellet hadde ligget midt i skuddlinjen, og var gjennomboret av kulehull, men det var likevel hit bygdefolket søkte. Det sønderskutte kapellet var fyllt til trengsel på de to begravelsene 24. og 28. april 1940. I midtgangen sto kistene svøpt med norske flagg, pastor Alf Hauge hadde tatt på seg prestekjolen som hang i kapellet, den var også gjennomboret av kuler,og over taket dundret tyske fly på veg mot kampene som hadde forflyttet seg til LIllehammer-området, noen mil lenger nord.
Fem av de seks som falt under kampene ved Strandlykkja i 1940 ble gralagt på kirkegården der. Senere ble tre av dem flytet til sine hjemsteder. For de to som fikk sin endelige gravplass på Strandlykkja; Erland Andreassen og Ole Gustavsen Skaakberget, er det reist et gravminne på kirkegården.

Kapellet ble innviet 12 august 1915 og ligger på en tomt som ble gitt av Berte Marie Strandløkken, eieren av Strandløkken gård, som også bekostet orgel.Både prekestolen og altertavlen med korsfestelsesmotiv er fra 1915, mens døpefonten er fra 1861. Det er en langkirke i tre med 90 sitteplasser og galleri.
 The chapel at Strandlykkja is not any old building, but it still has history marked in its walls...in the form of bullet holes from World War II in 1940.
During the battle at Strandlykkja people hide in houses and cabins in the forest. When the returned they were met by a sad sight; ruined houses and properties, no electricity, no telephone, no forage for their domestic animals. But the strongest impression was the dead bodies; 6 young boys that were found through the district. The deceased were brought here to the chapel using the hand-barrow from the village store as a hearse.
The chapel had been right in the line of fire and was pierced by bullet holes, but it was still here people now came. On the two funerals on April 24. and the 28. the chapel was totally crowded. The coffins were standing in the aisle wrapped in the Norwegian flags. Pastor Alf Hauge was wearing his cassock, also pierced by bullet holes, and in the sky German airplanes was passing by on their way to the battle that had moved on to the Lillehammer-area, further north.
Five of the six Norwegians who were killed at Strandlykja in 1940 were buried at the graveyard here. Later on three of them were moved to their home places. For the two who are left; Erland Andreassen and Ole Gustavsen Skaakberget, a memory stone is placed at the graveyard.
