    Why The existing reverse-witness field_refs entry on this same passage already records the temporal detail '1939'; this claim formalises it as the event's field_date, which previously had no claims.
    Reasoning Neville states the year directly while recounting the episode; this is the happening date of frequenting the bookshop, not the date he told the story from the platform.

    Source Free or Slavedelivery claim on lecture nid 1252 ('Free or Slave'), preferred chrome-dateline claim 1966-10-07 (v1.1/l2/w1b)
    Reasoning The lecture whose passage carries this telling has a preferred delivery claim of 1966-10-07 at probable confidence (chrome dateline, corroborated by the Friday-night pattern); the telling cannot be more certain than that delivery date. The lecture's own processing history shows the alternative 1967-01-18 catalogue claim already downweighted against this one, so I did not derive a told claim from it.
