The L prefix (as in L/11822) indicates Locally recruited gunners. Generally the Royal Artillery recruited on a national basis but in 1915 they tried a scheme that involved local recruiting. Generally RFA brigades numbered between the 150s and the high 180s were involved in the scheme and had the L prefix.
