My Assigned blog is on Kilroy Being here.
Kilroy was here was a symbol that was gratified on wall by the american armies. It all goes back to James Kilroy, who was a shipyard inspector during WWII. After he inspected a ship, he would write Kilroy was here on them to know that he's been there. But these GI's travelling in the ship would wonder where it came from and what it means. When the Units got to land, they would, as a joke, put Kilroy was on land as a joke. It became a challenge to place "Kilroy was here" on the most ridiculous and unlikely places. There is a legend that Kilroy is here is on Mt. Everest and on The statue of Liberty.
The Japanese came to islands in the pacific and have reported seeing Kilroy Was Here on the ground and in enemy Equipment. Navy Seals came to Japanese held Islands and saw that there was also Kilroy was here on the equipment and ground.
The British had a something similar to Kilroy. They had Mr. Chad. Mr. Chad said What no? and then something that was cut back to go to the Military. An example Is Wot no Sugar? This was sprayed on walls by the British civilians.
Styx Made an album called Killroy was here. It comes from a video that one of the bandmembers saw before he saw another band. The album is based upon the phrase and creates a alternate story upon it. I wanted to listen to the album but that's not in my contract.
