I'm trying to Google it to find out where it originated and I can't find anything. I'll keep looking. It would be bitterly ironic if it turned out to be a false memory.

When interviewing older Irish people for an oral history project, a historian found that many of the subjects being interviewed would vividly recall the Black and Tans breaking down the doors to search for IRA men. This despite the fact that virtually all of the subjects were born AFTER 1921, and couldn't have had any memories of such raids at all. It probably reflects how deeply ingrained in Irish historical memory and consciousness the Black and Tans were, and how common the stories were in their upbringing, that the subjects genuinely believed these were some of their earliest memories. And it really, really makes you wonder how reliable our own memories are.
