Wallace went to the Peninsular in 1809 in command of the newly-raised 2nd Battalion of the 88th Regiment of Foot (Connaught Rangers) which greatly distinguished itself at the Battle of Busaco, being mentioned in despatches by the Duke of Wellington. He commanded the regiment in action at Fuentes d’Onoro in 1811 and was mentioned in despatches again, as he was also following the Battle of Salamanca in 1812, when he commanded the right brigade of the third division.

On 12 August 1819 he was made a major-general and he received the Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) in 1833. He retired at the rank of full general and died at Stranraer aged 82, in 1857.

He wears the Star and neck badge of the KCB, the Army Gold Medal with clasps and the Waterloo Medal.
