    "A north Belfast mountain's connection to World War Two can still be seen today by the presence of a white stone.
    A local postman was commissioned by the Ministry of Defence in 1941 to paint a large stone on the mountain white.
    The stone, on Cave Hill, was used to help guide allied pilots into wartime airfields in Belfast at the time.
    In recent times, a plaque on the mountain to mark the war effort has been defaced."
