His published articles include "Enlistment, Impressment & National Service" and "The Social effect of the Pals Battalions".

Bell developed strong links with the Royal Leicestershire Regiment via his father who served with the Regiment during the Cyprus and Suez campaigns. He is a member of the Royal Tigers Association and the academic society Gray's Lodge. He has given much time to several servicemen's charities, raising their profile and awareness.
