The Royal British Legion. The Dunkirk Memorial House. The house has been established as a living memorial to all who took part in operation 'Dynamo' and all British servicemen and women. Operation Dynamo was the code name given to the evacuation of the Allied Armies from Dunkirk and neighbouring beaches between 26th May and 4th June 1940. During the course of the operation some 330,000 troops reached safety in England after being evacuated in Royal and Merchant Navy ships from Dunkirk and from the beaches stretching 10 miles eastwards from the entrance to Dunkirk harbour. Most of those saved subsequently took part in operations in various parts of the world and helped to liberate Europe in 1944 and 1945. Map. 'So long as the English tongue survives, the word Dunkirk will be spoken with reverence'.
