4. It’s a Black and Tan medal and the Cómrac bar means whoever won it saw combat. It’s unusual enough to get one with the bar because families hang onto them for dear life. My grandfather got one.. they were awarded starting in the 1940’s

   You’ll find a bit of info here. If you know the awardee you can also search for their pension file. May or may not be catalogued and digitised yet.

6. Class medal and a great gift! It would look great inside a frame, But don’t put it on your no.1s or at the very least put it on right.
