Dr
Dr M L Bangara
Dr
Bangara was born at Mangalore in South India in 1881, the son of
a district and sessions judge. After qualifying as a doctor at Edinburgh
University he moved to Cinderford in 1915, working in his own practice
and at the Dilke Memorial Hospital.
In
addition to his work as a doctor, he was an active member of the
community and a leading light in a variety of local organisations
including the Freemasons, Cinderford Horticultural Society, Dickens
Fellowship, Excelsior Band and Cinderford Male Voice Choir.
Dr
Bangara died of complications following influenze shortly after
his 46th birthday in April 1927.
An
'In Memoriam' leaflet published later that year shows the very considerable
affection and respect in which he was held in Cinderford. It bore
the words 'He lived for mankind'.
