Mike, Are you sure about that? (I am cringing) I think it means "Land" service as opposed to "A" (admiralty) and I forget what the air service was.
See examples. Tony Smith posted the info which included ammunition I think by the time the Centurion was built a different system was in place. I think the "/L" went into dis-use about mid war (WWII) (What lesson might I learn from this?....)

Ooops!
Lynn,
Yes, you may well be correct: I'd based it on the latter period without double checking, so my comments appear to be wrong. Land Service sounds good! The term is also part of the expanded nomenclature of the period, eg 'Ordnance QF 25 Pdr Mark 2 on Carriage, 25 pdr MK.1 Land Service'. The date of this reference is 1940, so right within the period we are talking about. So, scratch my previous second paragraph - or apply only to later equipment!! Mea Culpa Mike C
