New Zealand forces certainly formed part of the British Expeditionary Force. See http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-WH2-1Doc-c5.html However, there was no actual battle at Dunkirk. In May 1940 the British and Commonwealth forces, with French army on their left and the Belgian army on their right, were in full retreat ahead of the German armoured divisions, some in good order, but most in some degree of disarray, and ended up in Dunkirk (Dunquerque), under constant long-range artillery fire and attack by aircraft. Some rearguard actions were fought, but there was no set-piece "Battle of Dunkirk" as such.
