There is a Pension Record Ledger for Nathaniel which might give you more information. Unfortunately, I cannot access it on Ancestry Fold 3.

There is a pension record which confirms that he was 41793 HLI, discharged on 11/3/1919 due to Gun Shot Wounds to his shoulder and chest.

That record does not but a search of the Weekly Casualty Lists (held by the National Library of Scotland) shows the list that was published on the 12th November 1918 and there were a number of men of the Highland Light Infantry including Nathaniel. It shows ... Wallace, 41793 (Ecclefechan) .... Ecclefechan would be his / his next of kin home town / village.

Although it does not record a date of his wounding, it is accepted that the Casualty Lists normally reflect deaths and wounding's that occurred 4 to 6 weeks previous to the date of publication.

Regarding where he was when wounded ... a very quick look at the Battalion's war diaries show that they were in the Ypres (Belgium) area during September and October 1918.
