The collection consists of two scrapbooks containing photographs documenting Lilly's military service in World War I. Each scrapbook has numerous photographs taken at the Kerhoun Hospital Center. Included are photographs of building interiors and exteriors, general hospital grounds, the surrounding landscape, and the hospital cemetary. Other photographs show soldiers, hospital staff, and the arrival of injured soldiers from the front lines. The scrapbooks also contain photographs of the British front lines near Rheims, France; remnants of battles, including bombed-out buildings, tanks and airplanes, abandoned trenches, and the bodies of German soldiers in the field. The scrapbooks also document Lilly's extensive travels throughout France during the war to places such as Quimper, the Cote d'Azur, Lille, the Forest of Argonne, Paris, Versailles, and Boulogne, and to locations in England and Scotland. Many of the photographs have captions that give location information. One scrapbook also contains a page of detailed statistics about the Kerhoun Hospital Center, including the number of staff at the hospital and total hospital capacity.
