It's a military command used to control the firing of weapons on the battlefield. It means that the indivudal soldiers can fire at any target they see without waiting for a command to fire.

Once upon a time there was a bloke called Will.
No one liked him.
He was so ugly that when he was a baby he had to change his own napkins.
Anyone who had a gun was told to fire at Will.

I don't know if this will help but it sure is an amusing theory on the origin of this quote. I always thought it had something to do with the story of wilhelm tell. Good luck with your search :)

War. Soldiers were told to fire at will, meaning shoot when you see something to shoot at.
