In the summer of 1940, 338000 British and French troops were evacuated from the beaches at Dunkirk in Northern France after having been thoroughly beaten by superior German Forces. It was one of the worst defeats the British Army has ever suffered but propaganda at the time made it sound like a victory. There is no doubt that the logistics of the evacuation were nothing short of a miracle.
To find out which boat your grandad was evacuated from Dunkirk, you can start by researching military records, such as service records or unit histories, which may detail his evacuation. Websites like the National Archives or the Commonwealth War Graves Commission can be helpful. Additionally, you might explore personal accounts or diaries from that time, as they sometimes mention specific vessels. Local historical societies or forums dedicated to Dunkirk and World War II might also have valuable information.
A Dunkirk survivors list can typically be found in historical archives, military history websites, or dedicated resource centers that focus on World War II.

There were about 335,000 British troops, and about 50,000 French troops rescued at Dunkirk. Do you want that in alphabetical order, or by rank and unit? Thousands died in the fighting that ended with the withdrawal at Dunkirk.
The British Expeditionary Forces were assisting France in defense against the invasion by Germany. The situation became hopeless and the BEF tried to find a way to escape back to England. They withdrew to Dunkirk and asked England to send ships to pull them out. England sent as many military vessels and that was not enough. So civilian fishermen and boaters crossed the Channel to bring them back. General Harold R. L. G. Alexander was sent to Dunkirk to lead the evacuation. Before this, he had effected the pull-out of Burma. He did such a good job of preventing un-necessary losses, that he was knighted and promoted to command all the Allied forces in the Mediterranean.
