In a typical US infantry division such as the 1st, there would be on average 25000, but up to 30000 if you include replacements at the ready.

In a UK infantry division there would be on average a lot less, approximately 15000, because as the war went on they got more and more spread out.

Looking at an axis power such as Germany, in 1939 they had an impressive average of 40000 men with an average age of 23 per division. Near the end in mid 1945 it was less than 8000 men per division ranging from 12 year old girls and boys to 80 year old arthritic men.
