Son of Mr. & Mrs. R. R. Borthwick, of Randfontein.
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 28 May 2024: 74595992BC Lieutenant Michael Robert Borthwick, Personnel Services Corps, killed in a military vehicle accident on the Pietersburg Highway, age 27. ROH unit is NW Command Workshop (regiment already Personnel Services Corps).
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "South African Personnel Services Corps" (a branch, not a specific regiment) moved to Corps, per John's decision on the broader Regiment/Corps field-swap review.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED as a duplicate. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word repeating what the Branch column already says. Secondary Unit is for sub-units -- a company, a squadron, a commando -- and this record's branch of service is unchanged at "Army".
