He almost certainly already knew them from Bari. There are radio signal messages in NARA between Bob and Howard Chapin, chief of SI Austria, in Bari about Wood and Ronald.

Bob connected with “Wood” and “Ronald” in late April 1945 aa they moved south and tried to cross the Sava river

This is fascinating and very helpful! I haven't looked through the radio signal messages in NARA yet. Do you know what box/file they are in? Do you know if Bob met "Wood" and "Ronald" in Slovenia or just helped them via radio?
