I'd just like to add my Granddad Daniel Patrick McCann was indeed a Survivor of Dunkirk, he went over with the liberation fleet on a rescue mission :)
There was approx 42,000 british soldiers wounded in the battle of Dunkirk. A LITTLE MORE INFOMATION- There was 3,555 of the army dead, about 1,500 RAF dead and there was a rounded number of 40,000 prisoners. if any one was left wounded at Dunkirk they would have died in a matter of hours due to the heat lack of food and drink also the bombing from planes above.
About 350,000 (mainly British but some French) troops were evacuated from the Dunkirk beaches. At the time, the government thought that they might be able to rescue about 10% of that number.
I've just finished completing the editing of my Dad's war memoirs and he wrote about his Dunkirk experience. At the end of that episode, he said:
"I believe the miracle of Dunkirk had a far wider significance than anybody imagined at the time. Most of the soldiers who came back were the youth of Britain end eventually formed the nucleus of the Eighth Army in Africa and the Fourteenth Army in Burma. The war could have lasted another two years had we not been brought back from Dunkirk."
Contrary to the belief of many historians, amazingly, only one soldier was injured during the attack on dunkirk! :)
