What was Technician Fifth Grade in World War 2?

Technician Fifth Grade, or "T-5" was the US Army's attempt to recognize its members with a technical skill with a higher rank & more pay. Used from 1942 until 1948, the rank chevron of a T-5 was that of a Corporal, but with a letter "T" just beneath the lower stripe. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections
