The book "Biographical register of the officers and graduates of the U.S. Military Academy" (page 1159) lists Douglas Imrie McKay's birthday as May 25, 1883. This date is consistent with his age reported in the 1900 Federal Census. What is the source of the 1879 birth year? Lekantner (talk) 16:19, 19 February 2011 (UTC)LekantnerReply
