Born to Leslie William and Dinah Bell (nee Kenworthy), Bell was brought up in the village of Markfield, Leicestershire and attended De Montfort University, where he gained a first class honours degree and an M.A. at New College Oxford before pursuing his career. His published articles include "Enlistment, Impressment & National Service" and "The Social effect of the Pals Battalions".Bell is currently writing historical fiction, focusing on the 17th Regiment's actions in the American Wars of Independence. "The Heroes of Princeton" is due for release in 2008.

He is a life member of the Royal Tigers Association and the academic society Gray's Lodge and is a founding member of the Tommy Atkins Society and the Victory Show. He has given much time to several servicemen's charities, raising their profile and awareness.
