Thanks for the comments, everyone.
There may well have been! Although it wouldn't have rhymed well - unless it was sung by New Zealanders - since I'm told that the name should be pronounced "Binnin".
They're quite historical as far as I can tell - follow the link in the OP to see the artwork that I based them on. Of course the nature of that artwork made it rather hard to tell what the actual troops really looked like, but I did my best.
I thought I was done, but it turned out I needed these as well. Hopefully now I'm practically done.

Even if it were legal, I don't drink alcohol. I'm crazy enough without deing drunk, imagine what it would be if I was drinking!Is absinthe still legal in France?

Very nice work Plotinus. They would be cool in some sort of African fantasy scenario/mod.

No. It's one of the only places where it is still illegal in Europe. But you can still order good absinthe from France.

It merely removes the higher brain functions (when used in higher amounts).
Alcohol is a depressant, so maybe..... well, I don't know....

Wasn't it Dr. Johnson who wrote that, "To make a beast of oneself is to rid oneself of the pain of being a man?"

Don't know. Not familiar with it.
If you consider balance a higher brain function. Yes alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and can impair judgement.It merely removes the higher brain functions (when used in higher amounts).

I sure hope somebody wrote that! It's a gooder.Wasn't it Dr. Johnson who wrote that, "To make a beast of oneself is to rid oneself of the pain of being a man?"

As to drink, the best quote IMHO is the Porter in Macbeth:
"Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes
the desire, but it takes away the performance. There-
fore, much drink may be said to be an equivocator
with lechery: it makes him, and it mars him; it sets him
on, and it takes him off; it persuades him, and dis-
heartens him; makes him stand to, and not stand to; in
conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep, and, giving him
the lie, leaves him."
On the other hand, Abe Lincoln, according to an apocryphal tradition, upon coming to from a week-long binge said "I freed the what?"
