Andrews Raiders and the 10th Wis.

I was reading a letter from a R.S. Dilworth of the 21st Ohio when I ran across something that was new to me. According to the letter that Dilworth writes to his wife he says that James J. Andrews is somehow connected with the 10th Wisconsin Infantry? Now this is news to me.

It was James J. Andrews who participated in the "Great Locomotive Chase" down in Jawja in April of 62'. Afterwards many of the soldiers of the 2nd 21st and 33rd Ohio would be awarded the first Congressional Medals of Honor.

Can anyone shed any light as to the Andrews connection with the 10th Wisconsin Infantry?
