Wallace was born in Ottawa, Ontario on May 7, 1879, and served as a private in the Royal Canadian Regiment during the Second Boer War, serving overseas in South Africa.

He was re-elected in 1911. After the riding of York Centre was abolished in 1917, Wallace was elected under the Unionist Party banner in the riding of York West in the election of that year.
