  ::The Black and Tans::
The Black and Tans were mostly former soldiers brought into Ireland by the government in London after 1918 to assist the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) in their work.
For the Black and Tans, their primary task was to make Ireland "hell for the rebels to live in".
The Black and Tans were so poorly disciplined and trained for Ireland that their casualty rate was far higher than could have been imagined when the government first advertised for them.

  Black and Tans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term Black and Tans refers to the Royal Irish Constabulary Reserve Force, which was one of two paramilitary forces employed by the Royal Irish Constabulary from 1920 to 1921, to suppress revolution in Ireland by targeting the IRA and Sinn Féin.
The Black and Tans were not subject to strict discipline in their early months in Ireland and as a result, the deaths of Black and Tans at the hands of the IRA in 1920 were often repaid with arbitrary reprisals against the civilian population.
It stated that, in forming the Black and Tans, the government had "liberated forces which it is not at present able to dominate." However since 29 December 1920, the British government had sanctioned "official reprisals" in Ireland - usually meaning burning of houses and property of IRA men and suspected sympathisers.

The Black and Tans, or more properly known as the Royal Irish Constabulary Reserve Force, was just one of the paramilitary forces employed by the Royal Irish Constabulary from 1920 to 1921, to deal with supporters of Sinn Féin and its military wing the IRA.
Over one-third of the Black and Tans died or left the service before they were disbanded along with the rest of the RIC in 1922, an extremely high wastage rate, and well over half received government pensions.
Black and tan is also the name given to a popular drink involving Guinness floating on top of a lighter beer, typically Harp.

 The chilling story of the Black and Tans | IrishAsia

Tans were reportedly among those who took part in "Bloody Sunday", an incident which followed the assassinations of a large number of suspected members of the British secret service in Dublin.
