Why is "Downton Abbey" so vague about its timeline?

I just finished watching the first series of "Downton Abbey" and now, looking at the episode summaries on Wikipedia, I see that each episode was set in specific months in time. While watching the series, I never caught on that much time was passing between episodes. Then in the series one finale, it's suddenly 1914 and two years have passed since the first episode.



If each episode is set in a specific month, why doesn't "Downton Abbey" tell you this at the start of every episode? Is this information readily available in the UK, but not on US Netflix Instant Streaming (where I watched it)?
