""Mr Chad" or just "Chad" was the version that became popular in the United Kingdom. The character of Chad may have been derived from a British cartoonist in 1938, possibly pre-dating "Kilroy was here". According to Dave Wilton, "Some time during the war, Chad and Kilroy met, and in the spirit of Allied unity merged, with the British drawing appearing over the American phrase." Other names for the character include Smoe, Clem, Flywheel, Private Snoops, Overby, Eugene the Jeep, Scabooch, and Sapo."

I had found this location through some searching on internet. Unfortunately, when I arrived today, I noticed that there was construction work going on. I could still see the Chad figure... but from the back. Took several pictures and added the picture (from the front) from internet as the first one. Added the source on the picture.
