This story was given to me by Mr.Alexander Wilson. Alexander Wilson is 68 now and this is a long,long time ago when he was 4. Alexander was an evacuee. Before he was evacuated he had to hide under the stairs;which I think it was very dangerous because there were gas pipes and all different things. He lived in Belfast. There were no buildings to evacuate. So Alexander had to get evacuated to the countryside.First he went on a bus and then a very slow train and then another bus until they reached the Giant's Ceauseway. They brought him to this house with a very nice lady and a little daughter. When he was 5 years old he went to the Causeway school. He was 7 years old when he went back to his parents. Oh and the school he went to is now a museum and his name is on a piece of paper there. So if you ever go there look for the name Alexander Wilson.
