Is devil's sick of sin from Wilfred Owen's Dulce et decorum est imagery? |

Yes, as is most of the poem. The phrase is intended to describe as powerfully as possible how the smooth young face of the soldier (most were 19 or 20 years old) has become contorted and gruesome and evil-looking as a result of breathing in the gas. His face now looks like a gargoyle or the traditional faces of devils in art through the ages.
