Kilroy in Korea?

Post by w30bob »

Hi Guys,

I always get a kick out of seeing that "Kilroy was here" cartoon scratched or painted on WWII vehicles. Was the Kilroy cartoon ever seen on Korean war era vehicles.........or was that just a WWII thing? I think it would look cool on the tailgate of my M.......but not if it wasn't actually used in that timeframe.

thanks,
bob

A lot of WWII vets served in Korea so I don't see why it couldn't have appeared. Paint it on your truck and let the haters hate!
M37s are HMMWV in my world!
