The 5th Royal Tank Regiment was evacuated from France in 1940, sent to North Africa between 1941 and 1943, and then following the Axis withdrawal, returned to Britain in time to fight in Normandy and the Netherlands in 1944/5. There's a book about their experiences which draws heavily on their diaries and letters by Mark Urban, called The Tank War: The British Band of Brothers - One Tank Regiment's World War II.

Curiously enough, the recipient of the only Victoria Cross (the United Kingdoms highest award for bravery) to be awarded for actions during the invasion of Normandy on June 6th 1944 was to a Dunkirk evacuee.

Company Sergeant-Major Stanley Hollis was serving as a dispatch rider with the 6th Battalion The Green Howards during the German invasion of France and was taken off at Dunkirk. He then saw action in both North Africa and Sicily. On D-Day, still with the 6th Battalion, Hollis was extremely active in attacking German positions on Gold Beach which resulted in his award.
