Default British Prisoners of War

A question I can't answer, and I am hoping one of the more knowledgable members on the forum may know...
Did the British POW's taken in the 1940 retreat to Dunkirk still qualify for the red war service chevrons?
I know that only qualified for the 1939-1945 Star and War Medal, which I think is sad, so, were they allowed to have qualification for the WW2 Service Chevrons when they were released? Spending five years behind barbed wire must have been horrific. Poor men.
Thank you to anyone who might know the answer.
Enjoy the sun.
Amy
