Irish War of Independence Medal IRA Black and Tan medal with Comrac bar.

The history of the IRA Black and Tan medal with Comrac bar:

“IRA Black & Tan medal” is the Irish War of Independence Medal, 1919-1921.

Collectors often call it the “Black and Tan medal” simply because it commemorates the conflict period in which the Black & Tans operated — but the Black & Tans themselves never received this medal.

It was issued by the Irish state as a recognition medal for service on the IRA / independence side in the War of Independence (1919-1921).
