Don't think there is an easy way to get all the CO's names from the 1940 campaign....can't recall a 'Who was Who' from 1940 for the BEF......I think I can find out who was CO of 1st Borders but it would probably be a case of working out who was in the BEF in 1940 and then either wading through all the War Diaries at the NA to see if his name can be gleaned or asking regimental museums......
There used to be the Dunkirk Veterans Association but I believe they disbanded in 2000 on the 60th anniversary......
