‘Hundreds’ of photos show Aussie troops chugging beer from dead Afghan’s
prosthetic leg, court is told
2 Jun, 2021
Lawyers for a soldier suing several media outlets for defamation have
claimed that hundreds of photographs exist showing Australian troops
drinking from a prosthetic leg allegedly taken from a dead Afghan.
Several photographs of Aussie soldiers guzzling alcohol from the artificial
limb were published in December, and became graphic displays of alleged
gross misconduct by Australian troops stationed in Afghanistan. However, it
now appears that the macabre drinking ritual, which purportedly took place
at an underground bar located at an Australian military base in Afghanistan,
was far more widespread than previously known.
One of the soldiers connected to the story, Ben Roberts-Smith, is suing
three Australian outlets – the Age, the Sydney Morning Herald and the
Canberra Times – for defamation over reports from 2018 which detail alleged
war crimes that he took part in. According to the disputed reports, the leg
was “souvenired” from an Afghan civilian who had been shot and killed by
Ben Roberts-Smith in 2009.
The soldier’s lawyers have claimed that the limb belonged to a Taliban
fighter and that Roberts-Smith did not shoot him. Furthermore, Roberts-Smith
never drank from the prosthetic leg and found the idea of taking the fake
body part as a souvenir “disgusting,” his complaint states.
But with the case set to begin next week, Roberts-Smith’s lawyers have told
the federal court that they are struggling to meet the deadline to itemize
all the photographs included as evidence.
“We cannot do that for hundreds of images of soldiers drinking from the leg
– it’s too onerous, it’s too long,” Matthew Richardson, one of the
lawyers, told the court in a pre-trial hearing, as cited by the media.
According to reports, the artificial limb became a coveted trophy of the
Australian soldiers. It was allegedly mounted on a wooden plaque, alongside
an Iron Cross – a military decoration used in imperial and Nazi Germany.
The display was allegedly captioned with “Das Boot.”
The publication of several of the potentially incriminating photographs in
December followed the conclusion of a four-year probe which found “credible
evidence” of war crimes committed by elite Australian troops in
Afghanistan. The Australian military has since apologized to Kabul “for any
wrongdoing by Australian soldiers.” |

the real story in the article...
"Justice Brereton’s report recommended that 19 soldiers be investigated by
police in connection with the alleged murder of 39 prisoners and civilians
and the alleged cruel treatment of two others." |
