From Wikipedia's article on the Battle of the Somme:
Strength13 British and 11 French divisions (initial)
51 British and 48 French divisions (final)10½ divisions (initial)
50 divisions (final)Casualties and losses623,907 casualties
100 tanks lost,
782 aircraft lost[5]465,000 - 595,294 men
This is somewhat incomplete, as only the British/French side has an accounting of material losses, and the number of soldiers in a division isn't explicitly defined, though the article on military divisions says that number ranges from 10 to 30 thousand.
