Gazetted a Lieutenant Colonel in the Auckland Militia and the Royal Volunteer Calvary in 1860 he became responsible for guarding the line of communications and supply between Auckland and the South Auckland redoubts and outposts, being partly responsible for the defence of Otahuhu, Panmure and Howick.

Nixon died 20/27th May 1864 while leading an assault at Rangiaowhia Village just over four miles from present day Te Awamutu.
