Hello,
I was wondering if someone could answer this question - I have a photo from the 1980's of my Grandfather wearing his 1917 to 1921 Black and Tan War Service Medal & his 1971 Survivors Medal. However I notice his Black and Tan War Medal is the one Without a Comrac Bar, however I know for a fact that he received an Old IRA Pension, is this correct? Could you receive an Old IRA Pension without having the Comrac Bar Medal (i.e. the medal that recognised a participant engaging in active Military service (involved in IRA Military operations)).
