I received the following in an e-mail from Pfc Eng's son, Thomas:

"[Dad] was wounded during the landing at Iwo Jima (5th wave on Green Beach). While at Camp Tarawa my father had a tattoo of the Marine Corps "Globe and Anchor" put on his upper left arm. He was shot right through the middle of the tattoo. They sent him to a hospital ship for a few days, then back to the battle...My father never had any problem with his arm, but you could always see the scar in the middle of the Globe."
