Sorry there is nothing showing for those names in the National Probate Calendar 1858-1966 (via Ancestry).  I did also try for just William Robertson and 1915, but again nothing. 
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

Looking at William Horace's army records he made Lance Corporal the first time in his army career and Private when he was recalled for South Africa. He may not have left enough money to be probated. He seemed to marry in 1905. The first time?

Thank you barryd & BumbleB.  Based on the replies it looks like William did not earn a great deal of money which is sad given he put his life on the line a lot. :(
