Unless he is in anyone’s tree, it’s unlikely that anyone on here is related
Have you checked?
What are you actually hoping for?
Where in Scotland was the man born?

He was 59 when he died, according to his gravestone, so his birth must have been 1928, not 1929
Not sure about this statement - someone has been having too many ‘tinnies', methinks!!
Aged 59 years; Daughter of James Robertson and Catherine McNaught Cummings.

The family suggested by Shirley, featuring the middle name Mungall, is not the right one. Names and dates don't fit.
There is no marriage of a James Robertson to an Ida Mary in Scotland, England, or Wales.
It looks like they may have married in Australia.
The 17th Construction Squadron was in Vietnam in 1966-71. https://vwma.org.au/explore/units/825
Assuming "1st and 2nd Battalion" means battalions of the Royal Australian Regiment, the 1st battalion was in Korea 1952-54 , and the 2nd battalion 1953-54.
So presumably James had emigrated before 1952..

Someone named Sean Leader has James on a private tree on Ancestry. Per Sean's tree, James had a spouse and two sons.
Sean doesn't give James's wife's name in his tree. However, apparently her parents were Arthur William Smith and Theresa Ellen McGuffe, who spent their whole lives in Queensland, married in 1929, and had several children.
Therefore, I assume James and Ida married in Australia.

Ida Mary is not buried with James
He is in an Anzac grave.
No other Robertsons with the same reference as Ida

This may be of use to you if you do not have his service record:
Service records for more recent campaigns, including Korea, Malaya and Vietnam are still held by the Department of Defence. Records that are in the open access period can be obtained through the National Archives of Australia
