Dally's death was gallant because he felt bad for Jhonny
Johnny compares Dally to the gallant southern gentlemen in Gone With the Wind because Pony makes it clear that Johnny worships the ground Dally walks on.He in a non-homo way LOVES Dally. Dally is his idol. So when the book describes the gallant (brave, heroic) men, Johnny uses Dallas as an example, because that is how he sees him.
Gallant
It was on pg. 76. "I bet they were cool ol' guys,"he said, his eyes glowing, after I read the part about the riding into sure death because they were gallant.

It appears twice in the play. In III, 1, Benvolio says:O Romeo, Romeo, brave Mercutio's dead!That gallant spirit hath aspired the clouds.Which too untimely here did scorn the earth.And again in III, 5, Mrs. Capulet says: The gallant, young and noble gentleman,The Country Paris, at St. Peter's ChurchShall happily make thee there a joyful bride.In both of these, "gallant" has the same meaning it has today, when it's used: courteous, of good manners, gentlemanly.
Well, according to the book and the characters in it, even Dally was a hero and was gallant (according to Johnny because of one of his deeds), but I don't think that Bob/Robert did anything that could classify him as gallant. So, he wasn't a hero.
