SEARCHING FOR PIECES OF KUMILY’S HISTORY: ABOUT RANGER WOOD

Date:

AN APPEAL FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT RANGER WOOD

We at “Kumily Calling” received information about an Anglo Indian Ranger of the Thekkady Forest during the early 20th Century. Our Sources had mentioned that it was Ranger Wood who had taken the initiative to curb poaching and protect the tigers and other species which lived there.

Being very much interested in learning about the History and Heritage of Kumily we tried to carry out an online search to discover more details about this gentleman. Unfortunately, this piece of History has not been documented properly and there is no news of him online.

We believe the community must come together to collect such historical details of people who lived in Kumily during the past and record their contributions to the Community as a token of our appreciation.

We therefore request readers to help us find more details about Ranger Wood and his contribution to Kumily. If you know more about Ranger Wood and or have any photographs of him kindly do share them with us by mail to: kumilycalling@gmail.com
