Answer: Saturday

After Doss tells the Captain that he won't carry a weapon the Captain asks him if there's anything else he needs from the Army. Doss replies that he doesn't want to work on Saturdays because, as a Seventh-Day Adventist, that is his sabbath and he shouldn't work on it.

Answer: No

While Doss is rescuing men from Hacksaw Ridge he enters one of the Japanese tunnels in order to escape from some Japanese soldiers.

Doss helps the soldier with his wound and gives him a shot of morphine, much to the surprise of the Japanese soldier.

Answer: True

The final assault on Hacksaw is due to take place on Doss's sabbath but the Captain persuades him to be part of it because his faith inspires the other men.

Answer: His bible

Doss is injured in the leg kicking away a Japanese grenade. As he is being stretchered away he realises he has lost his bible and asks for it to be found.
