Operation Dynamo - the evacuation of 338,000 Allied troops from the French port of Dunkirk - took place between 27 May and 3 June 1940.
The Battle of Dunkirk. British soldiers were evacuated by the Royal Navy and by private fishing boats and Yachts which were commandeered to help the evacuation effort. Tens of thousands of British soldiers were evacuated and avoided being cut off from the rest of Europe by the German Blitzkrieg, which charged right through Belgium and into France.
There was an order sent out to all owners of small boats to sail to France to rescue soldiers from Dunkirk
The rescue of 338,000 allied (mostly British) troops from the Dunkirk beaches was a massive logistical triumph as only 10% of that number were expected to escape.
No. Dunkerque happened before the battle of britain, and we were not a part WWII before that battle.

The best estimate from the Mountain Rescue Association indicates 100 Teams and 2,500 Professional Volunteers in the US, Canada, and UK. Maybe prorate that by the number of national parks or amount of recreational acreage to get a better estimate.
France fell right after that in June 1940. The evacuation of British and about 60,000 French soldiers, with your equipment, occurred at the port of Dunkirk in Belgium. Over 1000 British ships of all sizes were dispatched to save these soldiers. The great break these soldiers got from being captured, was Goering's insistence to Hitler, to allow his airforce to destroy the Allied forces on the beach. Hitler orders his army and panzers to halt and this gave time for the British to come to their rescue and they used their fighters to fight the Luftwaffe. The Germans lost many aircraft and a golden opportunity to destroy the Allied armies at Dunkirk. 4 years later, most of these men would be part of the invasion of France called D-Day and get their revenge on the Germans!

Horse rescues are always glad for volunteers, but the fragile state of mind of some horses means that not everyone is suited to be around them. Volunteer to groom the horses who are ready to be adopted. When you're able to handle other horses, I'm sure they'll let you know.
The allied strategic bombardment was mostly successful and they sometimes ran into some humdinger entanglements and problems. They were well known for their ingenuity to solve problems, rescue people and overcome obstacles, like hedgerows.
