"Important Irish War of Indpendence group of three medals to Myles McGrane, Dublin"
"The first medal in this group of 3 is the General Service medal 1919-21 – which was awarded to all those who could prove that they took part in the Irish War of Independence. This medal is also known as the Black & Tan Medal, or the War of Independence medal.
The second medal in the group is the 1921-71 Survivors’ Medal. To mark the 50th Anniversary of the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, the Irish Government introduced a medal for issue to surviving veterans of the War of Independence - men and women who already held the 1919-1921 medal with or without ‘Comrac’ bar. This commemorative medal is gilt coloured bronze in the same general design as the 1919-1921 medal, but slighty smaller in size. This medal is officially known as ‘The Truce Commemorative Medal 1971′ The third medal of the group is the scarcest of the group – the Na Fianna Eireann medal. One sold last year at Mealy’s Auction for €1,500, plus buyers premium, plus VAT on the premium. This was not part of a group, and was not asignated to any particular recipient.Men with actual active and armed service such as the famous flying column’s were issued with this medal with the additional ‘Comrac’ bar. This example has the ‘Comrac’ bar and this signifies that the recipient was an armed member of the IRA during this period. Only 15,224 medals with the ‘comrac’ bar"
