yet another on - Józef Bem

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3zef_Bem

was a Polish engineer and general, an Ottoman pasha and a national hero of Poland and Hungary, and a figure intertwined with other European patriotic movements. Like Tadeusz Kościuszko (who fought in the American War of Independence) and Jan Henryk Dąbrowski (who fought alongside Napoleon Bonaparte in Italy and in the French Invasion of Russia), Bem fought outside Poland's borders for the future of Poland anywhere his leadership and military skills were needed.

On the collapse of the rebellion he fled to the Ottoman Empire, where he adopted Islam,[1] and served as Governor of Aleppo under the name of Murad Paşa/Pasha.
