A disturbing photograph has emerged of a member of Australia’s special forces guzzling beer from the prosthetic leg of a dead Taliban soldier at an unauthorized bar in Afghanistan, according to a report.

The senior elite soldier, who is still on active duty, was captured in the sick sculling act at the Fat Lady’s Arms watering hole, which was set up inside Australia’s base in Tarin Kowt in 2009, The Guardian Australia reported.

The news outlet obtained several similar photographs, including one showing two soldiers performing a dance with the artificial leg, which could have been an illegal war trophy.

Some of the troops claimed that the practice of drinking alcohol such a way was tolerated among the brass – and that some of the commanders also took part in the activity, according to the Guardian.

The damning images were published just days after Australian defense force chief Gen. Angus Campbell announced that his country’s elite troops allegedly murdered 39 Afghan civilians, a majority of whom had been captured and were unnamed.

Campbell said the alleged atrocities included cases in which new special forces members would shoot a prisoner in order to record their first kill — a practice known as “blooding.”

The illegal killings began in 2009, with the majority occurring in 2012 and 2013, Campbell said recently in announcing the Brereton report, adding that Special Air Service members encouraged “a self-centered, warrior culture.”

Rank-and-file soldiers said they have been unfairly slammed in the report for conduct they claim officers have been aware of for years, Guardian Australia reported.

The prosthetic leg seen in the photo is believed to have belonged to a suspected Taliban fighter killed during an SASR 2 squadron strike at Kakarak in Uruzgan province in April 2009.

It was then allegedly removed from the battlefield and kept in the bar, where it was eventually mounted on a plaque under the heading Das Boot, along with an Iron Cross – a military decoration used in Nazi Germany.

A former trooper told the Guardian that the leg traveled with the squadron.

“Wherever the Fat Lady’s Arms was set up, then that’s where the leg was kept and used occasionally for drinking out of,” he told the outlet, adding that senior officers would have seen the leg and potentially the practice of drinking from it.

The unredacted sections of the Brereton report cited the Fat Lady’s Arms as an example of how ethical leadership was compromised – but did not mention the leg or whether any soldiers were investigated for taking war trophies.

The Brereton report recommended that 19 troops be investigated in the alleged murder of the 39 prisoners and civilians, as well as for the alleged cruel treatment of two others.

The Department of Defense referred the Guardian to the Brereton report when asked if it was aware of the existence of the prosthesis images and what action had been taken if it was.

“The report has been redacted to remove names and details that could identify individuals against whom the Inquiry has found credible information to support allegations of criminal wrongdoing or other misconduct,” a spokesperson told the outlet.

“Where there is information provided to Defence not addressed as part of the Afghanistan Inquiry, these matters will be investigated thoroughly and acted on,” the spokesperson added. “It is critical that all matters are considered carefully, and any actions are undertaken according to the ADF’s longstanding and well-established processes, ensuring the rights of individuals to due process and fair hearing are protected.”
