Any non-Germans in the Freikorps 1918-1920?

I was just curious if any non-Germans are known to have served with the Freikorps units that were active postwar between 1918-1920?

The Freikorps were one of the key anti-communist organizations in postwar Germany and the former empire, and included veterans of the German military. I know that the German military during WW1 included non-Germans (e.g. Poles were recruited from the German partition), so I wondered if maybe some non-German, anti-communist sympathizers might have served with them? I'm interested in any examples, whether they were from the former German empire (like the Poles) or from other countries (like Austrians).
