He served in the Soudan in 1884, under Sir Gerald Graham, was in the battles of El Teb and Tamai (two clasps), and also took part in the Soudan Expedition up the Nile, in 1885, under Major General Earle (clasp).

He took part in the operations on the North-West Frontier of India, 1897-98, was engaged with the Tirah Expeditionary Force, was present at the action at Dargai, being mentioned in despatches and receiving two clasps and the DSO. Major Miller-Wallnutt accompanied his battalion to South Africa in September 1899, and was in Ladysmith when war was declared. At Wagon Hill, he had come up in command of a company of Gordons, to reinforce the defenders at a critical moment. He was with Lieutenant Jones, Royal Engineers, and was killed, shot, it is believed, by the Boer General, de Villiers, who had planned, and was leading the attack, but almost at the same moment a sapper shot de Villiers through the head. The author of "The Great Boer War" describes the stalwart Miller-Wallnutt as "a man cast in the mould of a Berserk Viking". He was mentioned in despatches, LG, February 8th, 1901.
