Can someone tell me what the L in British kit designations since WW2 stands for?
Much of the world uses 'M' (boringly) for Model (in various European languages), but Britain started using L - anyone know why?

I believe the L designation in British Army weapons stands for Land Service and started to be used in the 1950's.
British Royal Navy weapons systems are designated by N and stand for Naval Service. Canada also uses C for Canadian, and the Australians use F for Forces.
