Kilroy was an inspector in a factory in Braintree, Massachusetts.
Kilroy took out a rivet, his good-luck charm, from his pocket and engraved with it on the table, "Kilroy was here." Above the notation, an illustration of the cute jocular fairy was also carved.
Kilroy was shown on a beam under a band stand which was obviously built on the water.
Kilroy was a 46-year old shipyard worker from Halifax, Massachusetts and, during the war, he worked as a checker at the Fore River Shipyard in nearby Quincy.
Kilroy would count a block of rivets and put a check mark in chalk, so the rivets wouldn't be counted twice.
As a result, Kilroy's inspection "trademark" was seen by thousands of servicemen who boarded the troopships the yard produced.
