Just two months after the 67th moved to Egypt, the Western Desert Force was renamed as the Eighth Army, and the regiment re-assigned accordingly.
On 17 February 1942, the regiment was renamed to recount their Suffolk lineage, becoming the 67th (Suffolk) Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery.

On 10 April as the British forces in Eastern Libya were forced back by Rommel's Afrika Korps, and the forces were moved back to a few small positions, including the port city of Tobruk, this operation was deemed Operation Sonnenblume.
Originally, British forces were to moved to the garrison at El Agheila, the most favourable position for a defensive line and restricted the 2nd Armoured Division to movement between supply dumps, reducing its limited mobility further due to lack of transport.
Although the siege would eventually be broken, and the Allies successful, the regiment would not see this, as it was destroyed shortly before the breakthrough.
