Painting up some 28mm British infantry – anyone know if company grade officers were likely to wear a bicorne instead of the shako in 1815? Cheers

No, they wouldn't

By 1815 all regimental officers in infantry units were wearing the 'Belgic' shako. Even in the 28th Foot who retained the old 'stove pipe' shako, the officers had replaced the old bicorne. The latter was now reserved for officers on the staff.
