Thomas Keith (c. 1785 – 1815) was a Scottish soldier, captured in Egypt while fighting for the United Kingdom.
Born in Edinburgh, Keith enlisted in the 78th (Highlanders) Regiment of Foot on 4 August 1804.
[1] During this time the two Scots resolved to convert to Islam and change their names: Keith becoming Ibrahim Aga and Thompson becoming Osman.
The Sicilian was killed in their duel and the Scot then sought the aid of the wife of Muhammad Ali Pasha, wali of Egypt.
After a successful campaign, Keith was made acting governor of Medina in 1815 in Tusun's absence.
