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).
Official title:
“An Bonn Cogaidh 1919-21”
(“War of Independence Medal”)
It was not contemporaneous with the fighting — it came much later.
