^A military draft card from 1919 without Yancey's signature places his year of birth at 1900, but a passport application made in London on 28 March 1913 for a lost passport has the year of birth 1895 and bears Yancey's signature. His profession on this document is "music hall artist" and the purpose of the passport is "travelling to Russia to fulfill engagements." See U.S. Passport Applications, 1795-1925 via ancestry.com.
