Photo reveals Australian soldier drinking beer out of dead Taliban fighter's prosthetic leg

Exclusive: Image obtained by Guardian Australia shows limb being used to down drinks in a special forces bar in Afghanistan

Senior Australian special forces soldiers drank beer out of the prosthetic leg of a dead Taliban soldier at an unauthorised bar in Afghanistan - with a photograph of the act being revealed for the first time by Guardian Australia.

A number of photographs obtained by the Guardian show one senior soldier - who is still serving - sculling from the leg in an unofficial bar known as the Fat Lady's Arms, which was set up inside Australia's special forces base in Tarin Kowt, the capital of Uruzgan province, in 2009.
