Ben Roberts-Smith's lawyers in his defamation action say they have been overwhelmed by new tranche of documents including the images

There are hundreds" of photos of Australian soldiers drinking from a prosthetic leg - allegedly taken from a slain Afghan - at an unauthorised bar at Australia's military base in Afghanistan, a court has heard.

The existence of some photographs was previously known, and a handful had been widely broadcast and published. But the full extent of the photos from the Australian soldiers' underground bar, the Fat Ladies' Arms, was revealed before the federal court on Wednesday.
