You are nearly there with the graffitti idea, SM, but this is of more recent origin than "Kilroy was 'ere". The answer I am looking for became popular in World War II.

Oh. I have just discovered that Kilroy only dates back to WWII and is related to the Chad that I had in mind. I had read that a boffin called Chadwick first drew the Chad on a circuit diaram with the words "Wot no electrodes".
Here is more on Kilroy/Chad/Clem and how he worried Hitler:
