Kilroy, who's Kilroy ?
During the second world war the Americans built lots of prefabricated boats/landing craft,Mr Kilroy was a govt inspector of the prefab parts. As they all looked the same, when he had done his inspection he would write Kilroy was here, so that he would know which parts he had inspected and which he had not. The American soldiers saw this and took it upon themselves to graffiti it anywhere they could. That is the origin of ' Kilroy was here'
