HMS Sabre did serve at Dunkirk, she in fact made 10 trips to the beaches to recover troops which may be the record number of trips by a British warship.
My sources are: www.naval-history.net and www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk and also information from my uncle Leonard Edwards who was Coxwain of Sabre in her later Atlantic career, serving under Peter Gretton who wrote the book entitled Convoy Escort Commander about the period.
