He married Caroline Hill Kean in 1905 and had one child, Adelaide Dyer, who was born in Cuba.  In WWI, he was responsible for the manufacture of munitions. He attended several service schools: the Artillery School, the Mounted Service School, the Advanced Course, and the Chemical Warfare School. COL Gallup retired at the age of 64 in 1940. Even though he had retired, COL Gallup offered his services to the United States during WWII. Because of his expertise in artillery and munitions, he was assigned to Ordnance and supervised shell-loading plants in Virginia, Mississippi, and Alabama. One of the few graduates to serve in both world wars, Gallup retired again at the end of WWII with over 40 years of service. Gallup died on 23 Jan 1967 in Charlotte, NC, at the age of 90.
