The regiment embarked again for India from Ireland in July 1864 aboard the "Alnwick Castle", "Trafalgar", Calcutta" and "Alquis". The First Battalion saw action in the Second [[:Category:2nd Afghan War |2nd Afghan War]] 1879-1881.
From 1864 to 1907 the Suffolk Regiment always had at least one battalion serving in India. In St Marys Church, Bury St Edmunds, there is a brass plaque commemorating the 266 officers and men of the Second Battalion who died in India from 1864 to 1878.
