"Foo was here" is an Australian graffiti signature of popular culture, especially known for its use during World War I, but also became popular among Australian schoolchildren of post-war generations.
It may have inspired the later "Kilroy was here" graffiti.
It has been claimed that "Foo" probably came from the acronym for Forward Observation Officer, but this is likely to be a backronym.
