Didn't know it was “Colonel”

Missing for 24 years, finally, Statue of Colonel Sanders of KFC was found from a river of Osaka -- some people might know that already, since the issue was covered internationally (example).

What I was shocked by is not the fact the missing was found, but by the real name of Colonel Sanders.

I thought his name was Carnell Sanders!
I've never thought it was Colonel!
Most Japanese people still believe that it is Colonel (I should say Carnell) is his first name.

We call him
Uncle Colonel (or Uncle Carnell).
Now it sounds weird to me!

FYI, we don't distinguish the pronunciations between Colonel and Carnell. They are pronounced the same.
