Captain Darcy Meade (died 1863) was the eldest son of Dr Meade and Caroline Meade, as well as the older brother of Philip "Phil" Meade. He wrote many letters to his mother about the harsh conditions the army suffered during the Civil War. He also begged his mother to send him new shoes as he walked barefoot all throughout the snowy north. Before his mother could send them, however, he died at The Battle of Gettysburg.

In the film, he asks for gloves instead of shoes. He is the only member of the Meade family not to appear in the film.
