COL Lilly's diaries and other papers can be found at this link:
usacac.army.mil/cac2/cgsc/carl/resources/archival/lilly/ejlinv.asp

There are transcriptions and scans of diaries that he kept as well as lists of fellow POWs and other information.  These papers were donated by COL Lilly's family to the Combined Arms Research Library in 1998.  They are mostly related to his time in captivity by the Japanese during WWII.

Also, COL Lilly conducted an interview in 1976 with a member of the East Carolina University history faculty and it can be found at this link:
digital.lib.ecu.edu/special/ead/findingaids/0306/

This interview includes some of COL Lilly's experiences in WWI, prior and post WWII.
