Brief Description

In about 1904/5 they were renamed the 5th (Territorial) Battalion. When war broke out he volunteered for overseas service in August 1914 which meant he was transferred to the 4th Battalion DCLI which then travelled to India leaving Southampton on 9 Oct 1914 on board the Assaye. They arrived in Bombay on 10 Nov 1914 from where they travelled by train for Bareilly, which they reached on 13 Nov 1914. Here he stayed until Jan 1916 when the battalion travelled to Aden, leaving Bareilly by train on 18 Jan and reaching Bombay on 22 Jan, where they embarked on the Elephanta which reached Aden on 28 Jan. They served in Aden for a year before going to Egypt/Palestine and taking part in a succession of battles. At the time of the Battle of Nebi Samwil (17 - 24 Nov 1917) Wallace was acting as the battalion Quartermaster and often assured the supply of ammunition, water and rations by delivering them personally to the line, according to Everard Wyrall in "A History of the D.C.L.I. 1914-1919". He did have some time for sight-seeing and was photographed on camel-back in front of the Sphinx and Great Pyramid.

His brother Ernest also served with the 4th Battalion Devon and Cornwall Light Infantry in Aden.

Wallace married Madeleine Arnold less than a year after the war ended. She was born on 10 Nov 1889, daughter of James Arnold and Sarah nee Blight. Her father was a licensed victualler.

They had 2 children. Their first child was a daughter and a newspaper announcement gives her date of birth as 15 Jan 1921. Their son was born 3 years later and survived into adulthood. Madeleine is buried in the Tywardreath Churchyard where her headstone records her death on 23 Mar 1933 aged 42.

Wallace remarried Alice Marion Cowling, known as Marion, 3Q1943 at Plymstock Church in the Plympton registration district. They had no children. She died in July 2003 aged 95.

He worked until he was aged 80 as a solicitor's clerk with Coode and Gifford in St Austell. Both was buried in Tywardreath Churchyard where Madeleine had been buried earlier. His headstone records that he died on 17 Jan 1965 aged 83, but from when his birth was registered he must have just been 84.
