Kilroy was a symbol of the American GI and the saying with it was "Kilroy was here" this was essentially graffiti. There are several legends that tell how it got started. It became a challenge to place the logo in unlikely places. When I lived in Germany the was the ruins of a American POW camp in the area and a person I knew had gone up to it. He told me that there was Kilroy was here was on the walls.
Kilroy was a comfort to GI's suffering through a world gone mad. Kilroy was Here was proof that someone was there before them and survived. If Kilroy wasn't found there, it was left for the next GI.
