Who knows the origin of the Kilroy moniker? I believe I do.

"Kilroy was here" was coined by a shipyard worker, who's job it was to go around and counted completed rivets to prevent the riveters from over claiming and getting double pay. Kilroy (the ship worker) would then put "Kilroy was here" to prevent the riveters from erasing his marks and double claiming the completed rivets. There was no face at the time, just "Kilroy was here". The face didn't get included until US troops went to Europe and started to add a the cartoon face of a British character created by a British cartoonist.
