About David Bardell

Having retired from a career in IT and Business Project Management, continued to build up a strong knowledge and interest in Military History. Working with a friend, Mick Byrne, we have developed a compelling passion for WWI history. We visit Belgium/France each year to research our WWI interest. We’d like to share our stories with Groups. It is the background and stories of the Events which receive our (and hopefully your) attention.
