I think the bit you're talking about discusses the Elite who've been killed 
in combat or on duty -- presumably other Elite have gone down in planes, 
that sort of thing.

Those Elite were not killed. They were literally knocked down and thrown 
off their feet some dozens of meters, if I recall, but none of them died.

There are flaws in the continuity of any large work. I caught one just the 
other day, re-reading "Long Run" -- Gypsy Macoute colors are named as being 
"yellow and green" in that book, then they're "red and black" years later 
when I wrote "The Star." However, at least when I started out I knew who 
was related to who, so there's one for me.
