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.
The D-Day invasion was in Normandy, not at Dunkirk.
At the beginning of 1940 the French and English fought Nazi Germans in the Dunkirk, Calais area and lost.They fought together in France after the Normandy Invasion.

To fool the Germans that the Allies intended to invade France at Dunkirk, rather than at Normandy.
The Germans thought they were to be in Dunkirk by swallowing allied propaganda. They occurred at Normandy and were called Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, Sword.
The road distance between Lille and Dunkerque (English spelling: Dunkirk) is 79 km (49 mi). The driving time is 55 min.
Dunkirk is not in Ireland. It is a town in the north of France, in the region called Normandy. It is most famous for the World War 2 landings there on D-Day in 1944.

The scene of the evacuation of Allied (mainly British) forces from France during World War II in 1940 was the Channel Coast of France at a port called Dunkirk. Having been pushed back then surrounded by advancing German ground-troops, the majority of the British and French forces trapped at Dunkirk escaped to sea in a daring and largely successful series of day- and night-evacuations.
They invaded Poland, Germany, Norway, and etc.
