there are a few options on this page
I know what you're talking about. It's not corporal rank at all, it's actually technician (5th class) insignia. I have no idea for sure what a technician 5th class did, but I imagine it was a kind of administrative position.
In my opinion it may mean that your gradnfather's rank designation is a symbol for a "technicians" rank. In other words, your grandfather was a Corporal (E-4) with a specialization by MOS (military occupation) of a particular training in a specific technical military occupation designation. Hopefully this will point you in an approximate direction and that you may seek out a U.S. Veteran of that era in order to validate my opinion. Jose
The patch you described sounds allot like the world war Marine Corps or Army rank of Technical Sergeant. It was used to denote personnel with special skills such as administrative, mechanical or a skill in some foreign languages...
The rank of corporal was in the infantry and ranked a pfc etc. But a technical rank of corporal or sgt got the pay but no the rank. You could be a sgt. tech 6 same pay grade but ranks only over other techs.
Tech 5?

If it's an arrowhead (like a corporal's badge), it is the Texas National Guard...
