A real person behind Finrod's character?

Recently I found myself wondering that if Beren and Luthien's tale was inspired upon Tolkien’s love for his wife, then would any of the characters that those two interact with be also inspired upon real people?

Would Finrod’s sacrifice be inspired upon the sacrifice of one of Tolkiens fellow soldiers during WW1? What do you think?
