(U/MtWei Publications Review Board (UHAIlie) CIA Declassification Center (1.11/Atee) From the Archives: Wild Bill Donovan and Joyce Kilmer (U//AI terr When former DCI William "Wild Bill" Donovan died in 1959, there were many tributes to him in the media, some of which were preserved in ODCI records. One of the more interesting ones, which was recently reviewed by the DCI team at the CIA Declassification Center, was a letter to the New York Times by a friend of General Donovan. He recalled the time he and the General were at Camp Kilmer in 1956 in connection with Hungarian refugees, presumably related to the unsuccessful uprising in Hungary earlier in the year. "I mentioned to Bill that I had been a boyhood neighbor and schoolmate of Joyce Kilmer, the poet, for whom Camp Kilmer was named ... then Bill said ... 'You know, I was associated with Joyce too. He was fighting immediately next to me on my left side in France in the fall of 1918 and the same shell which killed Joyce almost took off my left hand. I went on fighting, someone replaced Joyce; he was also killed; yet, for some reason I am still alive."' � Alfred Joyce Kilmer is best known for his lines from the poem Trees, which he wrote in 1913: "I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree," and "Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree." Kilmer was killed in World War! in 1918 in France while with the 165th Infantry.
