Approximately 300,000 British and Allied soldiers were evacuated from Dunkirk in 1940. While exact numbers of those specific soldiers who later fought on D-Day in 1944 are not clearly documented, many veterans of Dunkirk returned to active service and participated in the Normandy landings. It is estimated that several thousand of the Dunkirk survivors played a role in D-Day.

I think that it is difficult to know that number of soldiers with certainty. The units in Sicily in 1943 & Normandy in 1944 would have been mostly different from those that evacuated at Dunkirk. Maybe there is a Dunkirk Evacuation Association that keeps track of that information.
