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'.  | Dr R N Nanda |
