The Trend is still going, and I can tell you for certain it lives on in the military. I worked with a Vietnam vet who drew Kilroy, and sometimes it would say "Kilroy was here" but other times he'd call me out directly by saying "Hi *name*" and have Kilroy waving. The guys in the shop made a game out of misdirecting me, because I kept trying to figure out who was leaving these drawings everywhere, and they'd all keep their stories consistent, but everybody was pointing the finger at someone else. This was all as recently as 2014, Good times.

I've been wondering about this for a while and I'm so glad to finally understand it. When my grandad died I inherited a box full of old photographs that he took during his tour of duty during WW2. One of them was a picture of him peeking over the top of some sort of concrete structure with his hands on the wall either side of his head and someone had chalked the words 'Wot, No Water?' on the wall. I had no idea what this bizarre image meant and I no longer had the chance to ask my grandad. Thank you for posting this video.

Until I saw this video I had not thought about it in years but as the other guy said by the 1970s when I was also a kid, it was literally everywhere in the UK as well. I doubt there is anyone from that time that didn't at least doodle it somewhere. Pretty much every bathroom. But like modern memes it eventually became so overused that no one did it any more. I didn't know the history, although I knew that it had something to do with the war. Pre-internet a meme clearly lasted decades rather than weeks.

My favorite meme is the "One does not simply....." Kilroy pops up in the end lyrics of the song Mr. Roboto, by the rock band Styx: "I'm Kilroy. I'm Kilroy." My personal fan theory: The character Wilson on the sitcom Home Improvement just may have been the show's own version of Kilroy. Wilson was usually seen peering over a fence, with just his eyes and nose visible.
