ALFRED R. BOUNIN
Detroit Bnai Brith Men's Council,
insurance chairman for District 6
and a member of the national
adult Jewish education commis-
sion.
At the same time, it was recalled
in Zionist ranks that Bounin was
a member of the Jewish Legion
which fought in 1917-18 in Palestine
for the liberation of the Holy Land
and of Jerusalem, under General
Allenby.
Born and reared in London,
Bounin started singing in the syna-
gigue at age B. He began train-
ing for opera at 16 and studied at
the conservatory in Naples.
Urged by an operatic artist,
Bounin, who already had sung the
roles of Rigoletto and Germont,
came to the U.S. in 1914. He was
granted an audition, but the Met
impresario did not want a young.
English singer. It was the day of
the established European artist.
Bounin sang with the San Carlo
Opera and on the concert stage,
but when the U.S. entered the
First World War, Bounin joined
the Jewish Legion in late 1917. He
served with the 39th Battalion,
Royal Fusiliers. in the Egyptian
Expeditionary Forces under Gen-
eral Allenby.
After the armistice in 1918, Bon-
nie helped organize a concert party
which traveled throughout Egypt,
Palestine. Syria and Lebanon, per-
forming for the British and French
troops.
Upon return to the U.S. in 1920,
Bounin taught singing in Toledo,
and gave concerts. He entered the
automotive industry in Toledo and
advanced through the years to the
position of purchasing director.
Bounin came to ,i,ecroit m 1939
and worked with several com-
panies through 1941-1946. He en-
tered the insurance business and
is still active. He and his wife
have one daughter, two grandchil-
dren and four great-grandchildren.
