Which 28mm figures could be used for this theatre.
Also which skirmish type rules could be used? Any suggestions?

This guy does a lot. I'm not sure you'll be able to get an easy answer from looking at his blog, but if you spend some time on it, I think you'll find what you're after:

There is a WWI version of Chain of Command available. Think it is in one of the Christmas issues.
There must be one for Bolt Action…..

And to the first part of the OP's question, Tin Soldier has what looks like a good selection of figures:

For figures in 28mm Copplestone and Brigade Games are hard to beat. Woodbine from Gripping Beast are also good and do some very nice Turks. That's the combination I use.

For skirmish rules, Through the Mud and the Blood by TooFatLardies though we do plan to try a Great War variant of their Chain of Command in the future.

Good luck with it.

I second 22ndFoot on figures. My rules of choice are Setting the East Ablaze.

Brigade Games and Copplestone.

NB: the Copplestone Brits are definitely on the large size, so don't mix them in units with others. That said they are as ever excellent sculpts.

Thanks for all the answers.
We have CoC rules so will try to find the ww1 adaption. Also Setting the east ablaze was already ordered.
When these are in the house and studied, we will look at figures.
The mentioned figures are all tasty
