He fought multiple battles with Robert E Lee's army, and for his role in the Battle of Manassas he was promoted to major. Belo became a lieutenant colonel soon after. After becoming a lieutenant colonel, Belo fought in the battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. During the battle, Belo was severely wounded. He also received a serious injury at the battle of Cold Harbor a year later.
