The phrase ‘Kilroy was here’ was popularized by GIs during World War II, often appearing in graffiti alongside a cartoon doodle of a bald man with a prominent nose peering over a wall. Although the origins of the expression and accompanying drawing are widely debated, the graffiti has always held great meaning for the American Armed Forces. This Kilroy popped up Friday on a Windstream on Paul Place in White Rock. Photo by Shari Mills
