The British 8th Army, which fought in various campaigns during World War II, particularly in the North African theater, varied in size over time. At its peak during the Second Battle of El Alamein in late 1942, it consisted of approximately 200,000 soldiers. However, the total number of personnel who served in the 8th Army throughout its existence was significantly higher, as it included numerous units and reinforcements over the course of the war.
As far as I know, all regiments in the British Armed Forces are similar in size.

it doesn't matter how big an army is, it is whether they are well trained and equipped, for example the British Army is't huge but they are well trained and equipped for any situation
During Queen Victoria's reign, the size of the British Army varied significantly, but at its peak in the late 19th century, it comprised around 250,000 to 300,000 regular soldiers. This number included various regiments and colonial forces, reflecting the Empire's global reach. Additionally, the army was supplemented by volunteer forces and reserves, particularly during times of conflict. Overall, the British military expanded considerably during her reign, particularly due to colonial conflicts and the Boer War.
"710 000 including reserves" Are you sure? The British Army will drop in size next year to 82,000. Several papers such as "The Independent" pointed out that this will be the lowest number ever since the 1899-1902 Boer War. Are you including the Indian Army, colonial troops and the Royal Navy in this figure? The Royal Navy was our large Arm, and had 103,000 in 1898. At the start of WWI the Regulars and reserves numbered 400,000.
Saladin's army at the Battle of Hattin was estimated to be around 20,000 soldiers.
The US Army maintained a strength of nearly a million members from the 1980's though to the present.
