THE BIRLSTONE RAILWAY TIMETABLE:
While "His Last Bow" might be a harbinger of war as far as its place in history, when it comes to chronology this tale is a moment of truce between every Sherlockian chronologist past and present. It’s is the only tale where every blessed one of them agrees to the year, month, and day of the case. It’s hard to argue with both Watson and the start of World War One, and I shan’t attempt it either.
Sunday, August 2, 1914 it is.
