Question: Where was "Camp Wallis, C.N." mentioned in your John R. Parker's Compiled Service Record?
.
I trust that this "Camp Wallis" was named for the Capt. John Wallis of Company H of Stevens' 22d Cavalry, who may have been the "J. Wallis" of Bourland's Regt whose horse was wounded in the Oct 1864 Battle of Elm Creek in Young County TX. ... I am searching for this John Wallis (see Wallis note below.)

Parker data.
.
I have your John R. Parker listed in my Name Index as follows:
.
PARKER, John R. Parker, b-1840 TN; 1860 Fannin Co TX cen p174; Stevens' 22d Cav, Co E, Lt; Rutherford's Inf (Fann Co, TST)
.
In his 6 regimental cards plus 8 more documents, there is a card that reads: "July 1-Dec 31, 1862 (Dated Mar 1, 1863); 2nd Lt., Company E ...Assigned to duty in charge of equipage at Camp Wallis, C.N. Aug 10, 1862. Relieved Oct 10, 1862. ..Names does not appear of names present."
