How many mines did a WWI company possess?

Does anyone know how many mines an average sized WWI British company carried? If that's too hard, how about an average sized American company from WW2? If that's still too obscure, how about an average company from any military at all during the 00s-40s?

I think you will find that rifle companies (ie infantry) did not carry conventional land mines at all. Mining (and de-mining) was the job of engineers (sappers) or possibly pioneers.
