The Black and Tans were a British auxiliary force made up of ex-servicemen, former police officers and criminals to fight the IRA during the Irish War of Independence. They got their name from their uniform, which was a mixture of British Army Tunics (Tan) and Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) trousers (Black, in reality they were rifle green but looked black)
