Dunkirk wasn't a raid, it was an evacuation of around 350,000 Allied (mainly British) troops in may 1940 in the face of advancing German troops. It was a major defeat of the British and French armies but logistically very successful because they were able to evacuate 10 times as many soldiers than expected although they had to leave most of their equipment behind.
Well over 350,000 troops were surrounded at Dunkirk. 338,000 were evacuated. There were 198,000 British troops evacuated, and 140,000 French. Two French divisions remained behind as rear guard and were soon captured.
If you are referring to the evacuation from Dunkirk in 1940, the total number was around 338,000.

The evacuation of nearly 340000 Allied troops from the beaches at Dunkirk took place between 26th May 1940 and 4th June 1940.

Dunkirk was the place in France from which about 340.000 British and French troops were evacuated to England after fleeing the advancing German army. It wasn't really a 'battle' as such, but you could call it a rearguard action. the british at the time called it 'The Miracle of Dunkirk' in that so many men were snatched from being prisoners of war.
About 900 miles from Dunkirk, France.
Around 200 British, Belgian and French marine vessels were sunk, destroyed or went missing during the Battle of Dunkirk. Many of them were civilian ships, such as fishing trawlers, who responded to Winston Churchill's plea for volunteersto help evacuate the stranded troops.
